The Kid Who Beat the Oakland A's!
A high school kid named David Wexler is passionate about his writing. His teacher Mr Montez advises him to write about real world experiences. David also has a passion for sports and decides to try out for his high school baseball team. He hopes that this activity will give him material for his writing. As David begins to play he finds that he lacks the skills to be a good player. On one occasion he knocks his shoulder socket out of place but he discovers that he has gained phenomenal pitching abilities. He is soon inundated with pro scouts wanting to recruit him for professional teams. He decides to sign with a new expansion team called the Bulls and begins to play professional baseball. He has immediate success helping his team win game after game. The Bulls eventually get to play the world champion Oakland As. Wexler has an excellent game against them and his team goes on to win the game. He eventually gets into a car accident and loses his ability to pitch. He leaves professional baseball and then discovers that he has a talent for kicking footballs. It is inferred that football coaches will now come after him. In the end he decides not to write a novel about his personal experiences because no one would believe him.
