(This book has black and white illustrations.)
(Star) had a list of chores a mile long. Yet, it didn't matter because the (baseball team) were playing in the final game of the World Series. The series was tied three games each and (he) decided that (his) chores could wait a few hours. (Star) grabbed the remote control, a bowl of chips, and a (beverage) and made (himself) comfortable in (his) favorite chair.
(Star) noticed that the players had been out on the field for an awfully long warm up, and the pitching coach sure was going crazy about something down in the dugout. Then, the announcer broadcasted the news that the pitcher of the (baseball team) just threw out his arm. The cameras followed the coach as he paced frantically inside the dugout. At one end of the dugout was a red wall phone. The coach reached it and started dialing. The cameras zoomed in. The announcer correctly guessed that the coach was calling in his back-up pitcher. That's when (Star)'s phone started to ring!
(Star) answered the phone. "This is the coach! Come over here right away. You're going to pitch the game today," said the coach of the (baseball team). The coach hung up before (Star) could ask any questions. "Wow!" (Star) thought, "This must be a dream!" (Star) packed (his) gear and spikes and headed for the door thinking, "Wait until I tell (Friends) about this!" (Star) stopped on (his) way to the car to pitch a few balls at the bulls-eye painted on the broad side of the barn.
After a few balls got away from (him), (Star) decided to pack it in and head for the park just a couple of blocks away. It'll come back to me once I'm in the game, so there's no need to warm up now, (he) thought. Once (Star) arrived at the staduim, (he) entered through the back entrance, got into the locker-room, and dressed for the game. When (he) stepped into the stadium, (he) could hear the umpire call, "Play Ball!" and the crowd cheered. Walking over to (Star), the coach had the look of death about him as he asked "WHO ARE YOU?"
"I'm (Star's name)," said (Star). "You called (phone number) and I answered your call to the mound." "I can't believe this," said the coach, "This must be the lowest day in baseball. I thought I called our best pitcher on the disabled list who was to be discharged from the hospital this morning. I dialed (phone number - one number off) and who do I get... you! If we don't start the game immediately we have to forfeit. Walk quickly now to the mound and start throwing," the coach ordered, "We will just have to win this one on batting." The announcer checked his notes and reported, "Pitching the final game of the (year) World Series for the (baseball team) will be (Star)." The announcer's words echoed throughout the stadium and into millions of homes on millions of TV's. Everyone in (Hometown) was stunned.
David walked to the mound. The crowd was silent. The first inning was beginning. Back in (Hometown), (Friends) picked up the TV guide and read the notice for today's game. A room full with baseball fans, too, were grabbing their drinks and chips and thinking about the sure bets they made on the (baseball team).
While turning on the set and settling into the furniture, (Friends) thought the name (Star's last name) was spoken while the volume was coming on. Then, the picture became clear. Shock filled the room. (Star) was on the mound! Popcorn flew everywhere and one observer in the group pounded his (beverage) can against his forehead. All knew their investments were lost - their bets wiped out. They had been done in by their very own (Star's name)......
