After a near death experience thanks to his own mother, Jake Hollander has an adverse reaction to people, baseball, and family. His feeling of abandonment is slowly lost thanks to his foster family, The Atkins. They take him in and change his mind about everything. He becomes more open, better at baseball, and craves for family. Slowly all wishes are granted.

"You! You're my boy!" Garret shook me around some more. "It's slang for friend. C'mon now! Keep up!"

"Wow." Tanner snapped out of his daze. "You really are a batting prodigy."

By this point, I think my face is permanently red from embarrassment. I don't really like all this attention on me, good or bad. 

"I definitely won't go after Jake." Garret shook his head. "I rather him go after me, that way, everyone will even forget what I had done. Versus everyone comparing me to him and his perfection."

"Perfection?" Tanner asked. "Man, don't put so much pressure on him."

Garret just laughed. "You say that because you've never seen him in action. Jake would have a perfect batting average if we base it off just the machine."

"Wow. Yea, for sure let me go before you fools." Tanner said. 

I just wanted to bury myself in the grass. Can they just stop already?
