Orientation

      This is the field and those are the dugouts. This one over here is ours and that one will be for the visitors. This is where we put our bags. It doesn't matter where you put your bag, but if you take someone's spot, you will be cut.
      This is the shed. This is where we keep the bats, this is where we keep the balls, and this is where we keep the helmets. We don't keep those things in here though, just a lawn mower.
      That's home plate, that's where we hit. If you don't know how to hit, that's okay, just talk to Greg and he will refer you to Brian. Brian doesn't know what he is talking about and will send you back to Greg, who will help you.
      That's Logan. He plays third base. He hurt his arm and can't throw. His dad is the coach so he still plays, but he moved to second base. Logan is good friends with Tony. Logan and Tony are really in to drugs and alcohol. Tony doesn't play anymore because he gets into trouble with the police for doing drugs. Ike took his spot. Ike also likes drugs, that's why you're here. You will take Ike's spot when he gets in trouble.
      That's Dave. Dave likes everyone and thinks everyone likes him. No one likes Dave. Dave is a pitcher, but he doesn't pitch, he is no good. Dave wants to be better, so he takes steroids that he bought in Mexico. Dave doesn't know that the steroids he bought don't work. However, he does know that they give him zits on his back the size of the baseball that he throws.
      That's Artie. He has a girlfriend in each town we have away games this year. He goes to groups that teach him how to cope with his addiction, but he lies to the leader and says he is better. Artie will always have a problem, but it doesn't effect his play on the field, so we don't help.
      That's Dan. He plays first base. If you make a bad throw, talk to him, he will help you out. Dan has no baggage, Dan is just a great man. Dan helps me too. I play over there.
      This is where we put our gloves. Bring me mine if I'm already on the field and I'll do the same. If you have any questions talk to Greg, when he sends you to Brian, don't go to Brian, find Bobby.

  1. I like the specificity of the steriod data. I definitely can visualize (ick...) the effects of the steriods. Unrelated, this narrator seems to have a kindness that Orozco's does not. You can hear it in the second to last line about the gloves. Interesting!
