Coach: Fox, get ready - You're on deck. Peter: Now, remember...level swing, eyes on the ball, and don't throw up. Ok, Pete, this is it...it's all up to you now. Down by one...two outs...bases loaded... The final inning against your team's biggest rival... You've been striking out all year, but now fate has handed you this one, gigantic shot at redemtion. This is exactly the sort of mythic moment that baseball is all about. Let's get it on. Umpire: Strike one! Strike two! Strike three! Jason: Mythic moments always seem to have better endings in the movies. Player: Pete? Coach didn't want me to tell you, but the bus is about to leave.
