Summary
Pecorino Sasquatch, who got stuck in a tuba in Pecorinos First Concert (S & S, 2005), is about to play his first baseball game. When his mother announces that its his first day of Little League, he springs out of bed, but then remembers that he hasnt a clue what Little League is. No matter. Out to the field he goes where Coach Credenza issues the uniforms. With only an Xtra-Xtra-large shirt left, Pecorino finds that his chest reads, Alone We Sell Oxes. The youngster lifts his arms out to his side and discovers that the sponsor is Malones, a store that sells boxes. He is assigned to right field, and when the opposing teams right-fielder arrives, he is wearing a shirt that says hit me ear. Upon raising his arms, the writing becomes clear: Whites Womens Wear. The innings progress, and Malones is ahead by one run. Pecorinos back in right field and Whites right-fielder is at bat. He manages to lob one right toward Pecorino, who has never actually caught a ball–until now.
