OK, here's the next chapter of SHORT HOP. I spent the last 4 hours (truly) banging this one out. Okay, it wasn't really banging so much as careful tapping. It is absolutely the first draft, but it should buy me enough time to get a couple more chapters done by Saturday. All in all it went better than expected for not having a clue where it was going when I started. Thanks to everyone for their help and support, especially Jaxmagicman. And yes, I'm going to write you into the story.

Incidentally, the Generals finished 83-79, 23 games behind the Philadelphia Rebels.

And a note on the CBA playoffs: 2003. I realized I forgot to write in a small thing about Dave describing how the playoffs went, so here it is: The United League pitted the Oakland Mammoths vs. the Boston Rovers and the Chicago Comanches vs. the New York Admirals. The Mutual League saw the Vancouver Mounties meet the Philadelphia Rebels and the Pittsburgh Cannons vs. the San Francisco Gulls.

The Rovers and Admirals met in the ULCS, and the Boston/New York rivalry is alive and well in the CBA, too. But this year it was the Rovers 4-3. The MLCS saw Philly and San Fran duel it out, with the Rebels taking the series 4-2.

The CBA Championship was a war. The Rebs had George Suarez (59 homers) and the Rovers had Willie Aquila's 40 HR and 143 RBI. The Rebs had Earnest Telles' 22 wins and the Rovers had Ben Evans' 25 wins. The Rovers also had batting champ Jeff Jaffe's .351 average. In the end it was Philadelphia who came out on top 4-3.

Now, on to Chapter Ten.
