DING BATS
Big news in the sports world today is all about Ted Williams and his chips off the old block of ice, his Ding Bat Brats son J, Henry Willians.
As CEO of the family business J. Henry Williams fits the bill. While other CEOs are cooking the books, J. Hungry-Henry, is cooking the bats making the King of Batters sign bats he can sell for hundreds if not thousands for a personalized autographed basball bat in the open market, and J, Henry has
home base covered with the bats. Where there's a will there's away, so as soon as J, Henry gets Dad to sign the will he puts
the old bat on lay-away. To be sold later piece by ice cube piece.
Now, he's frozen his assets as major stock holders want to cash out and stop cooking the bats, and start cooking the bat ass -sets. A head may roll.
Where there's a Will, there's a Way.
Now that Ted's signed the Will
this son has put the old bat on lay-away.
As the tug of war goes into extra innings
over the best hitter in baseball 'ever,'
Ted, Tha Kid, Williams,lies frozen in the on-
deck circle, waiting to see what his little
Ding-Bat-Brat J' Henry is going to do next.
J. Hungry Henry has an idea about going into spin-offs:
Makes a small mold of a baseball bat with Papa Teds head
on the end. Fills the mold with Kool-Aid, puts mold in
the freezer( next to Daddys) until frozen,
then Wal-la 'Teddy-Pops, Daddy Pop-Suckuls'
with 406 licks to the stick Ted was last men to hit 400).
Henrys sister flips,
"Put Henrys head on the end an call 'em Ding-Bats!' 'Save enough wrappers and have your own
Daddy frozen. Who knows, maybe sometime
in the future they might bring Daddy back
an give him a brain, instead of having
Ding-Bat-Brat like Henry."
"Listen up Henry, Daddy's so frozen solid right now that
if you hit him with one of your blood money autographed baseball bats the old man would break into a thousand pieces.
If each of us gets a piece they would be worth millions."
"The rest is to be used as fish bait as
you go fishing at Daddy's favorite spot.
This should make everyone happy except
the fish that gets fried. (yo,j-hungry,
you can freeze some fish, then sell 'em
later when no ones looking!)"
Ted, Daddy, if in the future they should bring
you back, I hope you sue the shit out
of J, Henry for doing this to you.
Who would want to come back to a bunch
of spoild Ding-Bat-Brats like thus?
The greatest hitter of all times just
struck out. Was it on a curve-ball? No.
Was it a fist-ball? No.Was it a slid'er?
No. It was nothing but a screw-ball!
City Struggles is about a young black teenager living in the bad parts of Chicago, but he can play basketball. His name is Derek Brooks. His family is struggling to and can hardly put food on the table. The main story line is him playing streetball at the local outdoor court. The only way he can cope with the tough life in Chicago is through basketball.
The movie starts with the Beautiful Chicago Skyline and right after that they show the dirty and rough southside. After this they will show Derek Brooks in the streetball court at 12 years old draining baskets. The screen will then show 5 years later Derek in the same spot draining baskets. It will be Dereks first day of his Junior year in highschool the next day and he barely got by sophomore year.
At school Derek will try not to get involved with acts that will get him in trouble, and at first he ignores everything and focuses on basketball. So finally its basketball tryouts and Derek has been on Varsity every year and expects it again. So he trys out and they play a scrimmage game, and derek knows he is much better than the kids on his team and so he doesnt try very hard. his coach then gets in his face and screams at him and Derek turns around and trys to zone it out, but then the coach brings up his dad who had left him when he was 10, and so derek throws and elbow at him and his coach goes down
.Derek is now in serious trouble and has to go to court and is put on house arrest. He cant play basketball at his school and cant go to school for his junior year and will have to make it up later. His house arrest is throughout the whole project and there is his local streetball court in range.
Derek plays there all the time and becomes very respected and faces guys and beats them all the time. He finds a friend there and they decide to be teammates and face guys two on two for money. He is crushing teams as usual and he is about 6'3 and can handle the ball well. His friend invites him into his room in the project and is offered drugs, and he sees a bunch of other guys doing drugs and have guns on them. Derek realizes how stupid it is and he leaves his friend gets very mad and they no longer have their team. The next day at the court it is strangely quiet and suddenly a bunch of guys come out and they beat up derek very bad. He has to go to the hospital with a broken nose. Derek is very quiet and determined once he gets out of the hospital he gets right back on the court and faces his old friend who was one of the guys who had beaten him. He plays him one on one and beats him. Finally it is school time again and Derek can do basketball and there is a new coach. derek plays varsity and does very good and his school wins the state champioship, and he gets a lot of exposure. Derek begins to recieve offers from schools and one of them was a fullride to U of Iliinois. Derek goes on to play there and becomes a star. He gets drafted into the NBA by his favorite team the Chicago Bulls. END.

Scene, 1912-3 just before WW1 breaks out. A pro sports team is languishing in the bottom half of the league when the the Head coach out on a scouting misssion spots a young player playing in his local team for fun but the the coach sees his potential and asks him if he wants a trial.
Having blown everybody away in a trial game the coach approaches the board and chairman of the club to build a team around this young talent. The board want to help but are broke. The coach then approaches a wealthy businessman and supporter for backing, he is so impressed by the coaches passion he buys control of the team and he and the coach go out and secure some of the best players in the world. The new season comes and the team starts to bond and tales of our young hero Jack soon spread. The season ends in disappointment though being beaten in the semis by there all talent rivals.
The team work hard in the of season and with the addition of 2 more quality players this could be their year but their rivals are stil hot favourites to retake the title.
with the new season our hero jack falls in love and starts a family,
now an established star of the league, records are broken as Jack goes from strength to strength. They make the finals winning in a close but ill tempered game against their bitter rivals and now look like going on to become legends of the game, however ww1 breaks out
most sign up for service but the team however has been broken up for good our hero finds himself as lieutenant in the infantry approaching soldier life with the same courage and attitude that made him a sporting hero.
the finale.
Our hero ends up leading the platoon as his C/O is killed, as his men are pinned by enemy machine gun fire he rushes out of the cover dodging shells,bullets and whatever the enemy could throw at him showing all the speed and grace that made him a hero on the sports field. as he reaches the machine gun pit he throws his grenade but is hit by a barrage of bullets, his grenade finds its target wiping out the machine gun post. His bravery saved his men
but cost his own. He is awarded the highest honour possible for his selfless act but the loss is felt for generations. his name and the team go down in history and leave people wondering what could have been and the senseless loss of life war brings.
