Superstitions

By  Adam Huddleston

First of all, you should know that for years the Centerville Knights were perennial losers. We finished at the bottom, or one standing up if Center City happened to have a bad season (which they rarely did), on an annual basis. By the time August rolled around last year, we were limping along twelve games behind first and the crowds were getting smaller on a nightly basis.

Rumors of a managerial change began to float around town. A few weeks later, some folks where suggesting the organization should be dissolved and the sports complex used for the local high school team. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t entertained the thought myself.

Then, at the beginning of this season, a miracle occurred.

Well, maybe that’s not the best word for it. You tell me after you’ve heard the rest of my story.
