Finding Buck Mchenery (post #2)

”All we’ve got so far is a sponsor and a coach. We’re supposed to have a team meeting today over at Sampson Park.”

Jason finally got the coach of his dream. He had to beg Mr. Henry and go through some stuff just to get him. Jason figured out that Mr. Henry was Buck Mchenry and was a great negro league pitcher. He won ninety games in three years which is un heard of these days. What he had to go through was when Jason went to Mr. Henry’s house he said he didn’t want to coach and that he wasn’t Buck. But Mrs. Henry said that since we have an eleven year old grandson just sitting around just watching tv you should coach. Mr. Henry agreed to coach if Aaron wanted to play. At first he didn’t because when he lived in Memphis his parents were going to watch him play when they died in a car wreck which was tragic. No one new Mr. Henry was Buck but Jason said if you pitch to me I will prove to you that he was once a great pitcher. Jason did by showing him his baseball card so that’s how Aaron and Mr. Henry joined the team. The only problem is they have no one else. I predict that Aaron and Jason will find a team and they will win the eleven year old championship.
