Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who loved playing baseball. However, he was always alone because no one wanted to play with him. One day, he decided to join a team. But when he went to ask to join, the coach said, "I'm sorry, but we have enough players." Timmy was so sad and missed playing on a team.

But, as he was walking home, he saw a group of kids playing catch and asked if he could join in. They said yes and Timmy discovered that they were actually a secret baseball team, just missing a player. Timmy was so excited and couldn't wait to come back and play with his new friends. From then on, Timmy never felt like he was alone on the baseball field again.
