Were the Newtown Bluebirds getting worse? Their last loss was 19-0. The one before that, 17-0.
Coach Mel Fromberg, at the practice field, addressed the Little Leaguers.
“Winners. We’re going to be winners.”
“Close your eyes, everybody. ”
It was to be a group-fantasy-session.
“See yourself as a winner. Then, see the whole team of winners…”
“Eddie? A winner?” Steve Bramwell, the second-baseman, said he couldn’t see it.
Eddie Franklin, the shortstop, said the same of Steve.
“Try again,” demanded Mel, his eyes still closed. But Steve? Eddie? The Bluebirds? Winners? What kind of task had Mel set for them all?
