Reborn in 1970

Chapter 19: chapter 19



Kevin has joined Baseball and Basketball club in high school.

Baseball team is ok but not a great team, Basketball team is one of the best in the New York.

For Baseball team and Basketball team he is junior with good physical stamina.

Basketball team in current seniors there are four players has chance to get scholarship in university level. But the issue of the team is they lack good bench depth who can play well. So, they win or lose by huge margin.

Baseball team has very good defence but no proper pitchers in the current team and teams hitting power has reduced by a lot like who can clear the field with bat.

So when Baseball team started testing the team for the newcomers in the second week he took test first said batsmen and outfielder. Started smashing every single pitch out of the fence. Seeing after three pitches same thing happened the coach rotated the pitches till all the pitchers line up pitched still result is the same. So coach started pitching kevin for 10 pitchers and all landed near the fence some inside and some outside.

Asked to do fielding and coach smashed the ball to outfield 20 ball and he has done normal fielding except for good judgement of ball same as the current outfielders in the team.

Coach: what you name?

Kevin: Kevin, coach.

Coach: I need to talk to you.

Kevin: Yes, coach.

Coach looked for the assistant coach said to handle the team testing. Kevin is following him as he to be in the Basketball ground with in fifteen minutes.

Coach: why are you in hurry (seeing that Kevin is checking his watch)

Kevin: I am also trying for Basketball team coach.

Coach: you are doing good for first time player? Have played baseball before?

Kevin: No, coach.

Coach: where did you learn? What kind of match did you play before?

Kevin: I used to play cricket and after coming here learnt from professional by hiring for a month.

Coach: So, they have adjusted your batting stance, I see.

Kevin: can I take my leave coach?

Coach: come to my office on Monday when you are free.

Kevin: thank you coach

Basketball team almost all the players have come and started warm-ups. In the Newcomers only Kevin was noticed by coach due to his stamina. Kevin came to Basketball team but in changed clothes, teams for newcomers and seniors have decided the match up about to start and Kevin entered the stadium court. Seeing Kevin coming asked why late done with baseball testing is Kevin's reply.

They have tested Kevin although he is not a good at offence but his defence is very good.

There are very good players in the newcomers as well this year who can play toe to toe with rest of the team except the top four. But in long match they be hard pressed and lost the points in the end of second quarter, 40 for the seniors and 50 for newcomers. In the half time they have decided to let Kevin play due no one is able defend the junior and they may lose points as their offence is not worked for last two minutes they came from 30 - 48 to find the second quarter by 40 - 50. By half time the newcomers are leading will we play in the too four play in the third and Fourth quarter?
