might have actually heard of it. What it means is it makes him

a little bit sensitive, he doesn't like surprises. So be nice to him and if he needs a hand,

help him out. Okay?

MAN:
All right, man. Right here, this is going to

be your locker, right here, it's got your gear and

everything you're going to need. It's right next to Pee Wee's. What up, Mick?

Welcome aboard. MAN: Just leave it there. He's a little bit, uh,

shy at first, but once you get to know him

he's downright friendly. All right? And, Pee Wee, I'm counting on you to

make him feel welcome. Before you know it, me and

Mick'll be best friends. Good thing, 'cause he's going

to be staying with you, too. What? What about your place?

You got the spare bedroom. He's going to stay

with you, Pee Wee. 108 stitches on a baseball. 108 stitches... It's good to know, Mick.

All right. So, what do you think? Think you can stay with my

good friend Pee Wee here? Okay. We can be friends. All right. I'll leave

you guys to it. Oh, Pee Wee, if you plan

It's just an expression. Okay? Let's try it again. Throw strikes! Whoo! That's it. Oh, Mick. Clearly, you've got

the power, Mickey, no question about it. Okay? We're just going to work

on your mechanics so you can really harness it. Okay, Mr. Murphy. I want you to watch

the next few games from the dugout with me. I'll teach you how to score and pretty much what everybody

on the field is doing. Would you like that? Yes, sir.

All right. Great. Now, I'm going to show you

how to throw the fastball, the curve. Okay? Now, the next pitch I want to

show you is a knuckle ball. 'Cause you have so much power, every now and again you have to

take a little something off and you can really

fool the batter. Take something off? Yeah. Take something off. Not exactly, but... I liked it. Okay. The knuckle ball, okay,

it's kind of a misnomer because you're not really

using your knuckles, you're using your fingertips to dig into the laces
