The Spy on Third Base (5 page)

“Yes, you.”

“Wow! Sure!” James cried. Then he frowned. “But you have a scorekeeper.”

“Not for long,” T.V. said.

“Are you predicting this, or are you sure about it?” Mel Thompson asked, grinning.

T.V. grinned back. “I’m one hundred percent sure about it!” he said.

Third baseman T.V. Adams has a knack for predicting almost exactly where a batter will hit a ball. His talent often comes
in handy, but it also causes a lot of trouble. After a local reporter calls TV. a psychic, TV. receives a phone call, threatening
him if he uses his “powers” in his next game. Will TV. give in to the caller’s threats, or “spy” to help his team?

“…fans can easily visualize the snappy play-by-play action.…”
