Is it another Saturday already? Time for another installment of SHORT HOP. Thanks as always for the supportive comments. In re-reading past chapters it occurred to me that the last couple have had more character development than baseball, but I'm hoping to change that in the next few weeks. I anticipate Dave's baseball career moving forward quickly now. I had to establish certain character points early in the story and Dave's second year in A ball gave me the time to do that. Now that I have a better handle on him I'm ready to start giving you more of his "baseball life". Warning: humorous anecdotes ahead.

I thought writing this next chapter would be hard, but it really went fast. It was still tough to say goodbye to everybody. I enjoyed writing them (especially Moose, Miss Draper and Theo) and I was sad to know they'd be out of the story (at least for a while). It was a bittersweet parting, but Dave has a lot to look forward to, even if he doesn't know it yet.

Until then, here's Chapter 13: Goodbyes
