24.) May Pen, April 5 1893, We had to make a move

"Come in, son, let me have a word with you." Jaguars Manager George Marden rief mich zu sich. "We decided we had to make a move, you know, got to have another sharp bat, so we signed that Boardman boy, the backup C from them damn Blues.
 "Seid ihr nicht zufrieden mit mir? Mein Schlagen ist nicht gut genug?" rief ich.
 "Son, there`s nothing wrong with you, we just decided to add another bat, that`s all. And this Boardman is a little stiff, y' know, can't play anything else but C. He's gonna get some at-bats just to rattle the rust from his bones."
 "Das bedeutet also ich sitze ab jetzt auf der Bank, wahrscheinlich ganz hinten, ich hab zwei Jahre die Knochen hin gehalten und jetzt wollt ihr mich abservieren?".
 " Don't look at it that way, we need you. You're gonna fil in at 1st too. We're gonna keep you busy, I promise. How old are you, son?
 "Meine Mutter hat einen guten Geschmack, also glaub ich nicht, daß du mein Vater bist",
"Okay you're 23., partner. You've still got all the time in the world  and don't say anything you'll later regret"

So erfuhr ich also, daß ich Ersatz Werfer geworden war.
