Okay, baby! Put it right in this kitchen! Go to work! Come on, baby!

-Yes, Rocket! Alright! Come on! Put it right in this kitchen!

Yeah! Alright! Do the dew!

-[growling] Gosh.

Give him the cheese! The high! Stinky! Chedder!

[crowd groans]

You are a bum, Steadman! Get him out!

Hey!

You're in my seat. Pitchers over there.

Hey!

-[phone rings]

-Yeah.

-Put the kid in.

-The kid?

-Put in what's-his-name, Henry!

-Look, he's not ready, Fish!

-I don't care. We got a sell-out crowd and they're not here

to see Chet Steadman. Now!

Rosen-burger. Warm up. You're going in.

[crowd boos]

-Safe!

-[more booing]

-Safe! He's safe!

-I'm sticking a fork in him. He's done. Call in Henry.

-Right.

[chanting] We want Henry! We want Henry!

What's Mr. Brigma doing?

That's the signal kid. You're in.

I'm in? I'm in?

[chanting] Henry! Henry!

[crowd cheers]

Henry is so cute!

[low pitch] Throw the heat.

[dramatic thud]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd booing]

Let's go kid! Where's your mom sitting? This one's for mommy! Mommy!

Honey!

-Oh no!

-[crowd gasps]

-Read em and weep, kid.

-[groaning]

-[crowd boos]

-Boohoohoo! Boohoohoo! Haha!

-Waa! Waa! What, are you kidding me? I eat fastballs for breakfast!

-Get you next time.

-Yeah! That's right!

-Oh, he must feel so horrible!

-That's alright. In Chicago we get used to this kind of thing.

[crowd cheers]

[coughing]

[rubberband sounds]

Sorry!

Ooh! That stings!

-Come on! Come on!

-It's okay, honey!

-This is a joke.

-Come on, kid!

-You gotta take me out. I can't do this!

-That's not my call, kid. Just rock and fire! Come on, let's go.

Hey come on, kid, throw the heat!

[crowd cheering]

You don't have a chance.

-Oh no!

-It's a wild pitch, a very wild pitch!

Wight's on his horse! He's headed for third!

Out!

Richard nails Wight for the final out and the Cubs go on to win!

Alright Henry! Way to go Henry!

Rowengartner throws a homer, hits a man, throws a wild pitch,

and still manage to get the save, and the Chicago Cubs

beat the New York Mets 5 to 4.

-You're gonna have to teach him.

-Teach him what?

-To pitch.

-I'm not playing wet nurse to no 12 year old.

-You're not playing much of anything these days.

-Brigma is the pitching coach.

-Now! Key to being a big league pitcher is the three R's.

Readiness, recuperation, conditioning. You see, after the game,

a lot of guys like to ice up their arms.

Still other fellas think that heat is the way to go.

But I discovered the secret, Henry.

Hot ice. That's right, hot ice! I heat up the ice cubes!

It's the best of both worlds!

Hi Henry!

Come on, sit here! Come on!
