Two boys named Josh and Harold were going to a Cardinals game. When they were walking down they saw a little poem that said,

You can never be a
Bad player, until
You tell
Yourself.

“Who is Frank Fitzgerald?” said Josh. “It says right here that Frank Fitzgerald was an
All-Star Legend, and played for 20 years in the MLB. He played for the Colorado Rockies, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Pittsburg Pirates, and the St. Louis Cardinals.” Said Harold.

Mike said, “Ok. 1st game is in 2 weeks. I want you rookies to be there 2 hours before. You guys are not playing pre-season because the way you guys played was fantastic.”
2 Weeks later
“Hello guys I’m Nate Frankinhamburg, and today we got 2 new rookies their names are, Josh Sampson, and Harold Bukowski.
This is a new season! No mistakes! We can make the Postseason!” said the announcer. “We have to play tough today.
Bring it in. 1, 2, 3 Cardinals! Hey rookies! I have Josh batting 5th, and Harold batting 4th.” “That’s ok.” They both said. “We are underway here
