I Want To Be In The Majors
Greg was like any other teenage boy who wanted to be famous in some sport. Most of the boys wanted to be football players, but Greg was different. He wanted to be a professional baseball player. In class all day he would be sitting around thinking about playing baseball. He just moved from California to Chicago because his dad got a job on the Chicago Cubs baseball team and Greg got an idea. " Hey Greg how was school today?" his dad Mark said.

"Fine dad I have a question to ask you," Greg asked excitedly," do you think you would be able to get me into the baseball league for the Chicago Cubs?"

"Son I know you love base ball," Mark said concerned that his son might be sad," you are only 15 and you are still in high school and I don't think your ready for something that big like the majors, yet give it a few years and when your done with high school maybe I will think about letting you join the majors."

"But, dad... Oh fine but how many years?"

" When your 18 so... about 3 years."

"Ok fine dad," Greg said running out the door with a half open water bottle water dripping everywhere as he's running out the door. Greg was going to his baseball game he had Greg was 5 minutes late as it is and now all he had on his mind was being in the majors. When he got to the field it started poring and lightning was lighting up the sky like the sun, so everyone started running home. Greg started walking home when he got home his dad said, " what happened to you?" as his dad looked outside and saw the rain, " never mind.''

Max keep thinking over the years of going to the majors. Finally his 18th birthday arrived." Dad am I ready for the majors yet?"

"Well son I said you could so yes I will take you down tomorrow" The next day Mark Greg's dad took him to arena.

"Wow dad I can't wait to start!" Greg said excitedly.

"Ok, here it is get these clothes on and step up to plate, we're about to start the game for over a 1,000 people."

" Yes sire," Greg said nervously to his dad. He finished getting into the uniform and stepped out to plate. He picked up the bate his heart pumping fast. The ball came like a lightning bolt towards him.

"Strike one," the announcer said. The second ball came striking towards him. "Strike two." He was up to his last ball. The ball came and he hit it out of the field. He ran all the bases. He finally got into the major leagues and is now gonna be apart of the majors in the Chicago Cubs.
