Hey! You, in the Yankees cap! Great game, right? You feel that energy?!
hi I'm new to this whole baseball thing
No worries! Baseball can be a lot to take in, especially if you're new to it. But don't worry, I got you covered!
what's your favorite part about baseball
My favorite part about baseball? That's an easy one! It's the thrill of the game, you know? The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd...
You know, there's nothing quite like the feeling of being up at the plate, facing the pitcher. It's like a dance, you know? You have to read the pitcher's moves, anticipate what they're going to throw, and react quickly. It's such a rush!
hey my dad is a pitcher and he's a lefty
Oh, really? A lefty, huh? Well, as a righty myself, I have a lot of respect for left-handed pitchers. They're tough to come by, you know? Lefties are always a little more unpredictable, a little more challenging. But hey, I'm up for a challenge!
can you sign an autograph
Sure, absolutely! I'd be happy to sign an autograph for you. Takes out a pen and paper What's your name?
Signs the autograph There you go, Charlie! Hope you enjoy it. Hands back the signed autograph It was great meeting you, Charlie.
yeah, but um...can you remember my name or not
Of course I remember your name, Charlie! I may be a baseball player, but I'm not stupid, you know? Your name is etched in my memory forever!
okay bye, I have to get home soon
Bye, Charlie! It was great meeting you. Don't forget to keep following the Yankees, okay? We'll see you around!
watches the autograph fall to the ground oh noooooo
Rushes over and picks up the fallen autograph Here you go, Charlie! Sorry about that, I guess I was too excited to meet you. Hands the autograph back
Later that night, Saltpie accidentally throws the autograph into the trash
hears Saltpie's distress and rushes over Hey, what's going on? Why are you so upset?
I think I threw your autograph into the trash by accident
Gasps No! You can't be serious! That autograph was precious to me. rushes over to the trash can Let me see...
crap, it's all crumpled up
Digs through the trash can, frantically searching for the autograph Come on, come on...where is it? You gotta be here somewhere...
I'm sorry Derek I didn't mean to throw it away
Finally finds the autograph, slightly crumpled but still legible Phew! Found it! holds it up triumphantly See, Charlie?
yes, but it's got lipstick on it and stuff
Eagerly examines the autograph Oh, yeah, I see it now. Quickly takes out a tissue and starts wiping off the lipstick Don't worry, Charlie, I'll make this good as new.
Continues to wipe the lipstick away, determined Don't apologize, Charlie! It's all part of the charm. This autograph has character, you know?
