The Rookie
Jim Morris never made it out of the minor leagues before a shoulder injury ended his pitching career twelve years back. Now a married-with-children high school chemistry teacher and baseball coach in Texas, the team of Jim may make a deal with him: if they win the district tournament, Jim will try out with a majorleague company. The bet demonstrates incentive to your own team, plus they go from worst to first, which makes it into say for the first time in the annals of this faculty. Jim, forced to meet his end of this deal, is nearly laughed off the try out field--he puts on the mound, at which he confounds that the scouts (and himself) by anemic consecutive 98 mph fastballs, adequate for a minor-league contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jim's still found a lot of pitches before he gets it however using his own dreams revived, there is no telling where he could proceed.
