| Before long, Shirley was infected by a most severe case of Dodger fever. Not even strawberry ice cream could lure her away from the radio when Red Barber was broadcasting the latest adventure of de Bums. Truly nothing else mattered. Not the heat that glued her skin to the plastic chair, not an outing to the beach, not even a movie followed by a beef pot pie at the Automat. Every time Number 42 came to bat, she imagined herself in Jackie Robinson's shoes. |

| A handful of gold-jerseyed Syracuse players are leaping up and down and jumping on each other in front of me. This is just about the time it hits me: I slid right on top of the puck and carried it with me, past Rachel, into our own goal! I scored on my own team! This is so not how I have pictured my first goal as a Comet. |
