Scene 5
ANNOUNCER 2: Next up to bat is a real journeyman player … none other
than Moses. You know, he got his big break in the Bush Leagues,
and that's when things really caught fire for him.
ANNOUNCER 1: That's right. At a very young age he was drafted by the
Pharaohs.
ANNOUNCER 2: But he eventually did something unheard of … he
demanded to be sent back down to the minors to join his former
teammates.
ANNOUNCER 1: He led his team on the longest road trip I've ever heard of.
The very first game went into extra innings and lasted 40 years!
ANNOUNCER 2: Rumor has it he was guaranteed a contract with the
Promised Landers, one of the richest franchises in history.
ANNOUNCER 1: However, as I understand it, he won't be able to join his
team on their home field, which must be a real disappointment
after wandering around the league for so long.
ANNOUNCER 2: But I must say, he looks pretty good for one hundred and
twenty!
ANNOUNCER 1: As a matter of fact, it appears that for his first at-bat
against the Amalekites today, two of his teammates are going to
have to help him hold up his bat.
ANNOUNCER 2: That bat is legendary; it's frightened many a player and I
hear he takes it everywhere he goes. He calls it the "Rod of
God"!
ANNOUNCER 1: Who are those two teammates? Are they on the roster? I
don't see them.
(the two players turn around)
AARON: I'm Aaron and that's Hur.
ANNOUNCER 2: (looking at the roster sheet) Okay, it is Aaron and …
AARON: Hur.
ANNOUNCER 1: What we mean is that we caught your name, Aaron, but
not hers.
