Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The next game they beat the giants 8-3. Mr. B was there sitting in the same spot as normal. Later that night Mr. B came up to Sly's porch wanting to know if he signed or not. He told him he didn't and Mr. B's face lit up. He said good-bye and stay happy and left. Next game Sly was up to bat, he was trying to look for George but couldn't find him anywhere. The count was 2-2 and Sly swung on the next pitch that ended up landing right in the catchers glove. He had strucken out. They were losing 3-5. Then going to right field he made an error. Next time up to bat he looked for Mr. B and realized he would never see his friend again. He got a hit and it went right in between the center fielders legs. But they still lost 6-8. After the game he was awarded a trophy for being Hoopers greatest athlete ever. Walking alone carrying the trophy suddenly it didn't seem as heavy as when he had gotten it. Like someone else was helping him carry it.
