(music begins to "In the Big Inning")
(Sam is side stage, daydreaming, tossing an imaginary ball into the
air and swinging his bat. When he finishes, he sits down to thumb
through a stack of baseball cards.)
SAM: And now, introducing the newest member of the baseball Hall of
Fame … Fame … Fame, Sam Cunningham … ham … ham …
ham! (bows, makes crowd cheering noises) Thank you! Thank
you! Today, I consider myself, the luckiest man, on the face of
the earth!
(dialog at measure 47)
(Mille runs up to Sam, then they move to center stage to meet the rest
of the crew.)
MILLIE: (excited) Sam, let's go! Mom says we can head to the church now.
SAM: But it's only Saturday.
MILLIE: Not go to church … go to the field beside the church. We're
playing baseball today.
SAM: (coming around) Yeah!
MILLIE: Put down your baseball cards, and let's get in the game! (tosses
him a glove and they take off)
SAM & KIDS: Charge!
