BASEketball Page #3

I am not!

Why am I hanging out with you guys?

'Cause you're a piece of sh*t.

- I am not.

But you're a little b*tch.

Goddam it! You rip on me 13 or

14 more times and I'm outta here.

Whatever! I gotta show you

the scoreboard I made!

Your place is a sh*t-hole anyway.

At least I'm on the team.

Yeah, they want me...

Six months later

An new driveway game has captured

the imagination of a neighborhood.

An entire league has sprung up.

- Starting with 12 teams in June.

Now down to just two,

including the inventors of the game.

It's off the rim.

Could be a double play, Maxwell tips...

Newman's try...

No!

Shirts have a shot at the conversion.

Remer...

Keeps it alive.

Last chance! Coop...

They make the conversion!

The home run counts!

What a game! The Shirts win

the World Championship

of Baseketball.

Gentlemen!

Gentlemen, I'm Ted Denslow.

The billionaire?

- Yes.

Anyway, I like your little game.

How'd you like to go pro?

Baseketball? - I got 3 words for you:

National Baseketball League.

We're not interested.

- Wait a minute! Hear me out.

You kids with your loud music

and your Dan Fogelberg,

your Zima, hula hoops

and Pac-Man video games.

Don't you see?

People's attention spans today can

only be measured in nanoseconds.

I hear you.

- Just look at these people!

They feel a certain connection with you

as players.

With baseketball

we can start fresh,

not allow teams

to change cities,

or players to be traded.

And everybody will get paid the same,

like when I was a kid

and players were treated like...

Indentured servants?

- Yes!

The real beauty of this game is

anyone can play.

Any normal Joe can be a sports hero.

Never wanted to be a sports hero?

Sure, once.

But that was long time ago.

If I know anything about this country,

it will go nuts for baseketball.

America will go crazy.

Listen to that crowd!

Five years later

9th inning. The Beers still behind by

3 runs and down to their last out.

The pressure on these players

has to be enormous.

Alright, guys, we've got one out left.

We can still win this thing.

Can we do it? - Yes!

What a game these fans are seeing!

That gentleman is Ted Denslow,

the father of professional baseketball,

along with his lovely new wife

Yvette.

Now shooting, number 44,

Coop "Airman" Cooper!

Coop is heading for the triple square.

Bob Costas, this has to be one

of the most exciting baseketball games.

Hard to believe that just 5 years ago

this game was played only on driveways.

Hard to believe that just 5 years ago

those girls were

only in grade school.

Coop at the triple line, and Jansen

sets up for the psych-out.

- Hey coop!

- Be right with you, darling.
