Hey, Henry, you hear

what this kid said?

Next thing's he's gonna tell me

he's allergic to hot dogs, too.

Henry, we've got a lot

of work to do here...

Jack, come on. Don't be afraid.

What do you want to do?

I want to take a few swings?

Then batter up.

Hey, sorry about that.

There. That should do it.

Hey, hey, come on, Jack.

It's light enough.

Now let's see what you've got.

This is so cool.

- Steee-riiike!

- What are you crazy? You almost hit me!

- What are you nuts?

- Hey, hey, hey.

Come on kid. If you don't swing,

you're not going to hit it.

- Steeee-riiike!

- What are you, crazy?

Hey Jack, I don't want to bother you,

but you might have better luck

if you stay in the batter's box.

But the ball is coming right at me!

Hey kid, remember what

the Babe tells you,

if it was easy,

it wouldn't be worth doing.

- Stay with it, Jack! Come on now.

- You can do it!

- Come on kid, get in there!

- Come on, Jack. You can do it!

- Atta boy!

- You can do it Jack!

We're rooting for you, Jack.

Steeee-riike 3! You're out!

See. I told you I couldn't do it.

Okay. That's 'cause you're

doing three things wrong.

Number one, you're playing it safe.

Two, you gotta lay back

on the curve ball,

and three, you gotta believe you can

do it or you're never gonna hit one.

Let's start with number 1.

When you swing, swing like

your whole life depends on it.

Make it the biggest, best, most powerful

swing you can come up with. Okay?

Number 2, see how he's spinning

the ball in his hand like that?

He's tipping his pitch. He only

does that before he throws a curve.

And you know what to

do with a curve, right?

You lay back on it. And number 3,

the most important... you,

Jack, gotta believe you can do it.

Pitchers hate it when I point.

- You know why?

- Why?

'Cause it tells them I believe I'm

gonna hit it all the way out there.

Just believing you can do it,

Jack, can change the game.

Man!

- You still got it, George!

- That's amazing.

- I can never do that.

- Okay, you're turn.

Come on, Jack, give it a ride.

- Steee-riiiike 1!

- I can't do it!

Alright, alright. Time out,

time out. Come here.

You gotta believe.

You!

Go ahead, laugh guys, laugh.

Come on, Jack, they can

tell your heart's not in it.

Come on, Jack. You can do it.

- Come on, Jack.

- Let's Go!

Come on Jack, you can do it!

Yes.

- Now that's what I'm talking about.

- I did it. I really did it.

Boy, did you ever.

Did you see that? That ball

went over six hundred feet.

How do you like that fellas, huh?

You see my boy?

I did it. That was me.

- Hey, Henry, what do you think?

- Told you he had it in him.

That was me.

He's quite a kid.
