...feel bad for Hendricks, though. The one to feel sorry for is the next batter, Bruce Shepherd, the intended victim of this strategy. Actually, you can understand why the Dudley hurler, who wishes to remain anonymous for reasons that will be readily apparent when I continue with this story, preferred to face Shepherd, a cocky Californian whose fielding average is lower than his batting average and whose credibility rises and falls with the price of stock in Del Webb...

David (Suzanne Baxstresser), the young hero of the tale, emerges as a Machiavellian schemer whose love of power makes...
