Chapter 11

“Jason,” Graham reminded his dad before turning to Sam. “It was pretty exciting. He ended up playingin the minors for a while, but never got called up to the majors. He coaches at a high school in Kansas now.”

“Good for him. What a great way to still get to earn a living while doing something he’s passionate about. I played some baseball in high school, but wasn’t good enough to play in college. I play in a league out in Olathe every summer, but it’s just for fun. Not a lot of competition.”

“I was never very good at baseball. I ran track in high school, but that’s about as athletic as I ever got.”

“Jason,” Graham’s dad exclaimed. “He signed for the Royals, didn’t he?”

Graham felt a lump in his throat and nodded.

“He’s Graham’s cousin,” the elder man explained to Sam, as if they hadn’t just discussed it.

“Wow. Must have been pretty exciting, Thurston,” Sam replied, a quick nod of understanding toward Graham.
