King of the Bench

Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It s just a fact. But this year, Steve and his friends are excited to try out for the Spiro T. Agnew Middle School baseball team. The only problem is, after watching another player get beaned by a fastball, Steve has developed a serious case of bean-o-phobia the fear of getting hit by a pitch. If Steve ever wants to get off the bench and get in the game, he s going to have to muster up some courage, and fast.
