Opening Day; I Guid-not
April 23, 2006
NEWTON,
MA>All year long, Jason has been waiting for Sunday, April 23. This would
be the day the Dog Pound would open their regular season schedule. Jason
woke up and had that Christmas Morning feeling running through his veins.
He hopped out of bed and looked out the window. He almost sprouted wood
when he looked out and saw that it was not raining. Just as Jason was
oiling his glove, and putting black paint under both eyes he heard the phone
ring. He knew it right away. He checked the caller ID and saw that
it was Coach Doherty. His heart sank and a tear came to his eye. He
answered the phone hesitantly and asked how bad the news was. Coach Dan
broke the second basemen’s heart with three words. “It’s rained out”.
Jason hung up and called Chris Doherty for consoling. Chris tried to tell
him that it will be fun to open on a Friday, but Jason hung up and went back to
the daily grind of doing chores claiming that the rain ruins his life.
