Cory was the most excited he had ever been as he left the managers office. Walking back to his locker he sat down. His teammate looked over at him and asked "what's up?" Cory couldn't help but flash the biggest smile on his face. "I am going to the show man!"
Cory was a 22 year old kid from the Midwest that baseball had been his life and since the age of 18 when he gradauted high school had been his profession. Three years of the minor leagues and half a year in AAA he was now getting his shot. Cory was going to the big leagues.
It was mid afternoon on a Thursday and Cory had show up to the park for a game that evening with his bags packed as they were suppose to leave that night for a 12 day road trip. However, when he arrived he was called in the managers office and given the news. He was told he needed to get his equipment packed and load his luggage in the team car as the clubby had to get him to the airport within the hour to catch a flight to San Diego. The padres were the team that had drafted him and now he was headed there! Cory did as he was told and packed his equipment up said a few short goodbyes to the guys already there and he was off.
Cory hopped the pane from Portland to San Diego and a few hours later he landed. As he reached the baggage claim he saw a man holding a sign with his name on it. The gentleman was wearing a padres polo and khakis. Walking up to him cory grinned before he could speak the man did. "hello Cory I am Paul but everyone calls me squirt." Paul was the equipment manager for the club and was sent to get Cory. Grabbing a his bags Paul drove Cory to a large fancy hotel in the city. Squirt told Cory the club would put him up here for two weeks then he must find his own place. After checking in Squirt helped Cory to his room.
As Cory opened the door it was an elaborate suite. Setting his bags down he walked around looking at the plush room. On the coffee table was a basket full fruit with a note on it. The note stated welcome to the big leagues kid. It was signed by the GM of the team. Squirt gave Cory the run down of when he was to be at the ball. Cory only had an hour before batting practice. Squirt told him he would wait for him to change and they would go. "change?" cory thought and then it hit him he was in the big leagues now. Going to his suit case Cory pulled out his best suit and put it on.
As they arrived at the ball park cory was met by the manager and GM they had a short conversation as Squirt unpacked his equipment bag. Soon Cory was dressed and on the field. He shook hands with a few guys he had plats with along the way. As he went through batting practice and approached his turn in the cage he grabbed his helmet and bat. This was the first time he saw her. Standing at the end of the dug out was one of the prettiest women Cory had ever seen. She was standing there with a camera man waiting to get an interview with the teams star. He later found out her name was Lisa Drew.
Lisa was the teams on field reporter for the station the covered all their games. She was an up and coming reporter who had dreams of working for ESPN. As Cory looked at her she turned and caught him. Cory a little embarrassed now gave her a nod and then headed up out of the dugout to take his swings. As BP ended he went back to the clubhouse and prepared for the game. The media relations person for the team came to Cory an said "Mrs. Drew would like an interview with you." Cory looked up at him shocked. "Are you available?" the guy asked Cory. Cory nodded and headed up to the field.
Sitting down in a chair on the field while the other team took batting practice Mrs. Drew sat down. (looking for a lady to play Lisa. Not looking to rush into anything and take it slow as both of them are very serious about their work. If you have any questions please pm me!)
