Casey's Loss

Dear Casey,

I am your number one fan! I have never missed one of your games. Casey you are an amazing player, but of course you knew that already. It showed at the last game, I was very disappointed in how you took that strike out. You were my role model for as long as I can remember. What were you thinking? You lost the game for us you know. You could have easily hit a nice single to right field and send Johnnie and Flynn home for a tie. Then Scottie could have batted you both home, but no you had to be a big headed jerk and not swing at the first two pitches they were perfect straight down the middle if you would have swung you most likely would have knocked it out of the park. I have seen you play and I know you can hit the ball. We could have had the most amazing grand slam of all time. You could have got into the hall of fame. We would have pulled through with a victory of 6-4 Mudville. You would have been my hero. Did you ever think of that? You played well all season so what happened?

Sincerely Your Not So Number One Fan,

Alex Hultine

           

Dear Alex,

I got your letter and I wanted to let you know I am very sorry for letting you down.

I can tell you now what’s going on when it comes to me and the Mudville’s. We had a good season haven’t we? So you want to know what I was thinking. I was thinking since we got this far with the wins that we had we could have made it through the game no problem. But my biggest flaw was not swinging. I let my whole team down and even worse I let my fans down. I made a horrible mistake. And I heard all about it in the locker room. That pitcher was psyching me. Of course that was the idea but I didn’t have enough time to actually turn my self around to swing. That last strike was such a heart breaker. Everyone expected way more from me and I could give them way more than what I did. I am sorry for letting you down Alex, but I promise next year will be a season to remember.

Sincerely you’re Soon To Be Hero,

Casey
