their faces when I look at a B's face I know what he's feeling I can tell if he
believes in himself I know if he's going to hit the ball a strike out television doesn't talk about feelings and faces
those voices have no passion yeah put this bat over there and then finish the window
Max owski Most Valuable Player I knew it I knew it when you hit that storm last
night you're a professional ball player that is so cool was kid was a ball
player how long did you play baseball did you play any other sports did you know anyone famous I'm met you like

so you're becoming pretty popular around here yeah it's great here I'm glad I came
really did um did Uki give you this ball
yeah who there this is Jim Thorp ukie said my father um um somebody could tell
me who Jim Thorp was well he was only one of the greatest athletes that ever
lived baseball player mhm played for the Giants but he did more than that he set
Olympic records in throwing and running and jumping and he was an All-American football player
and he was Native American he was Indian like us he belonged to the sack and fox
tribe wow sounds like he could do anything that's the truth um did
Uki give you this ball didn't swipe it if that's what you mean well no I just
thought well maybe he loaned it to you I mean it's Jim [Music]
Thorp
gently stretch my joints like a banjo string as of my imagination or is schamer getting heavier all oh dear it
happened again the worst one yet we're taking schemer home to his mommy maybe
she can th Out Boy I'd like to give that coach Sledge bolt a piece of my mind
come on he's not all that bad what all I can say is we better win the
game I can't carry schemer around forever okay everyone on the count of
three ready one two and
[Music] three be careful
there okay so where's your lydy boyfriend Cara
that's so immature hey Mr Conductor how about the
rest of that story I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten about Duke the engine they called Old grandp puff let me no
let's let Thomas remind you of The Story So
Far Duke was forgotten then they found him and he got a second chance I like that story it's important when you get a
second chance you must try not to waste
it hi guys oh well kid hi kid what's the
matter we need to ask you something Stacy heard that someone spray painted
the score Bo yeah do you know anything about it
no you sure yeah I'm sure why did somebody say I did it no no one said you
did it it's just just what well we had a deal remember yeah I remember and I'm telling you the truth I didn't do
it I know I got in trouble before but this time's different you don't believe me do you
you think I did it kid
what am I doing wrong have you seen the scoreboard oh yes sir we were just talking about it
sir isn't it wonderful wonderful you mean that somebody spray painted the
scoreboard no that was just the first coat they repainted it for the big game it looks brand
new Excuse Me Miss Jones what's going on here
what's going on here sir is that we just made a big [Music]
mistake nobody cares if I'm on the team nobody wants me here you're going to run
away you should talk you're most valuable player in you quit no I didn't
quit I ran away too just like you're doing you're like my uncle you know that
why is everybody always telling me what to do it be different if my father was still alive I'm sure that's to a truth
kid but he isn't you know even after my father died I kept looking for him in
the stands I figured if I could just see him sitting there I'd be able to hit again so that's why you stopped playing
cuz your father died no I stopped because I was afraid I was afraid that I lost my
timing and couldn't hit anymore afraid I'd let my teammates down so instead of trying to work it out I took the easy
way and ran that's different I don't even belong here by the way I brought your ball back
guess magic didn't work for me either what' you expect magic has to come from here first
kid come on give your team a second chance give yourself a second chance
before your chances run out too late I'm leaving it's been nice noise
kid if you think nobody wants you here think again think about your
uncle [Music]
better
[Applause] up

[Applause] [Music]
[Applause] Z
[Music]
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
see your bag is packed yeah I'm going home I don't want to be around people
who don't believe me no one said they don't believe you you were thinking it what's the
difference so every time someone doesn't believe you you're
going to leave you know what your father would
say you're not my
father no no I'm not your
father but there comes a time when you have to stand and prove yourself and I think you're old enough
to know that [Music] now and you're right I'm not your
[Music] father but I am your
friend come on come on come on come all right guys let's go out we'll get it we'll get it get guys come on
come on hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey what was that about what was swe about I mean what was what about I'm
talking about the fact that the evil coach was just patting you in the back and smiling at you I didn't do
anything hey hey quit looking me like that will you what did you do I didn't do anything what I did do it
wasn't my fault it's his idea see we were going to lose so he gave me Nickles Dro every ball that came near
me what difference does it make we're making nickels uncle Say It Ain't So schemy Say It Ain't So Okay it ain't
