HUBRIS CONTEST:
Joe, doing his best to hide the fear bubbling up from within, kicked dirt from the mound as the next batter sauntered to the plate. This was Adrian Perez, MVP, future Hall-Of-Famer, and the best home run hitter alive.
Ninth inning. Bases loaded. Two outs. Clinging to a one-run lead.
Before Perez entered the batter’s box, he did the unthinkable. He pointed towards the outfield, confirming what everyone already knew about the ball’s final destination. Joe winced at the shame that was sure to follow.
Nobody was more surprised than Joe Flack when Perez hit a soft grounder to first.
