Somehow, this story by Tom got eaten by a grue at Gmail, so he re-sent it and I’l posting it as a featured story.
Please treat the comments section here as where to vote for this story in the polls.

It was the bottom of the 10th at Wriggle. 10th game of the series. Ernie Banks the XVIth was at full count 10 fouls in a row. The cubbies needed a run to stay in the 3010 series. The pitch was high and outside. Banks cranked his shoulder twisted his wrist. The crack echo across the stadium. Deep deep into center field a rookie number 10 for Houston leaped against the wall. As ball met mitt he heard a whisper from the stands. Good job son. Said old Bartman to young Bartman one down 10 to the third to go.

My apologies to Tom for it being eaten and my not including it in the Weekly Challenge with the others.
