Everyone's Hero Page #4

Whoa, kid, you're watching

way too many newsreels.

That lucky bat stuff

is a bunch of malarkey.

How do you know?

You were only in for one pitch.

Ooh, that hurt.

That guard had to take the bat.

Why would a Yankees security guard

steal Babe Ruth's bat?

Now, if it were a Chicago Cubs

security guard, that I could believe.

Wait a minute.

Hey, hey, hey, I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

I still can't breathe.

Hey, I knew I'd seen that face before.

What are you babbling about?

The security guard was Lefty Maginnis,

pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.

Lefty's the biggest cheater

who ever stepped on a mound.

Lefty stole the bat so Babe can't hit.

The Yankees will lose the Series.

I've got to tell Dad.

Yeah, and don't forget to mention

that you heard it

from your friendly neighborhood

talking baseball.

Kid, this is just a crazy theory

and even if it were true,

no one's gonna believe you.

You don't have any proof.

- Then I'll get some proof.

- How?

Most of the Cubs are heading for Chicago.

What're you gonna do?

Sneak out of the house,

go down to Penn Station,

and search every single passenger?

- Right.

- Oh, no.

If we go to Penn Station,

we may catch him there.

I got to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Whoa! Oh!

This can't work. You're just a kid

and this is the real world,

not some fantasy land

- filled with gumdrop fairies and...

- You're coming with me.

Yeah, I think maybe not,

but thanks for the invite.

Screwie, I have to do this for my dad.

All right, don't look at me...

Don't look at me like that.

Stop it, stop...

Okay, fine, let's make a deal.

I'll help you to find the bat

if you take me back to the sandlot,

- and leave me to rot in peace. Deal?

- Deal.

Hmm.

Oh, whoa!

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

Uh-oh.

What do you mean by "uh-oh"?

Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

- Okay, we're fine.

- I'm okay.

Not fine!

My head! My butt! My head! My butt!

Oh!

- So far, so good.

- Are you okay?

- You were screaming pretty loud.

- I wasn't screaming.

I was laughing.

Ha! See? Ha, ha, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Laughing.

There's a million people here.

How we gonna find Lefty?

Just keep looking, all right?

Flyer service to Niagara.

Track 18.

We gotta hurry.

Why don't we come back in 10 years?

When you're taller.

Make way, there, folks.

Coming through, coming through.

See anything yet?

I see a sock, a candy wrapper,

a Life Saver covered in lint.

- Hmm. Pineapple.

- Screwie. This is no time to fool around.

Now do you see anything?

I see thousands of people

going about their business,

none of which is ours.

There's only one train to Chicago,

so Lefty will have to be on it.

- We're gonna stake it out.
