I was excited to be playing in my first league championship series . The first team to win four games goes to the crown jewel,the World Series. I know my Dodger Team was the best, we just had to prove to everybody else. The Brew Crew was going to be a good challenge for us. They had the best home game winning record in baseball. Game one I was batting as the number seven hitter. Everyone on the plane to Wisconsin slept,but I was too excited after all. it was only a dream. Coach Tommy L came over to me on the plane and sat down. You know you are the first rookie to start for the Dodger since Ron C at third in a the league championship series said Coach Tommy L. No Pressure kid utters Coach Tommy L. Be yourself and have fun. You got a great skill set kid declared Tommy L I am proud how you have step up to fill some big shoes at third for us. Thanks Coach I utter. Coach promptly stood up as

he walked out the aisle. He said stay a while in the batting cage.gets some extra hitting practice..we may need that bat of yours. So the next day at practice I did. Coach Pete the hitting instructor got retired player Kurt G to give me some pointers. That evening I promptly took the field for my first NLCS game. I got welcome quickly with hot line drive as I leaped into the air to stab it for the third out. Eight innings pass its tied 1to 1. I am the first batter up for my team the Dodgers. in the ninth inning. I run the count to three balls and two strike. Pay off pitch coming from the pitcher. The pitcher deals me a 88mph changeup...I wait on it and then pull the trigger... It' s deep fly ball fans this could be the if it stays fair down the right field line. It's got a chance ANND Home Run the Dodgers are now up 2to 1. I toss my bat and start the fable jog around all four bases...thinking after all It was only a dream. We get three sick outs in the 9th and win game one on the road 2to1 on my homerun. Everybody high five' s me. Coach Tommy L shouts way to go kid..do it again. Hitting Coach Pete shakes a water bottle on me saying..nice one,you got power Kid just be patient and get your pitch.
