part three

"I am surprised you haven't taken him out of the league yet." said the New York manager.
"He is the best thing that has happened to this league in years!" said the commissioner.
"You know what I will make you a bet if Andrews throws a perfect game against my Yankees I won't tell anybody, If he doesn't you have to that he will be taken out of the league." Manager said. "You we could be taken out for this bet?" said Commissioner.
"Well then I will announce that he is Mike Phillips." Manager said. Then he left.
"Boy I hope he pitches a perfect game." says the Commissioner. Later that day in the first game of the series Matt Capps takes the mound for the Giants and C.C Sabathia takes takes the mound for the Yankees. The games to long into the 15th inning and all the reliever are very tired. The next day Andrews takes the mound and right before he takes the mound the skipper tells him "You better pitch well we don't have any Relievers." That sure is reassuring.

A fictional story part two

The League was surprised at this feat so they did a little background check on Andrew Phillips and they couldn't find any information on him so the MLB commissioner called him in for a meeting. Andrew walked into the meeting. The commissioner said" now tell me who you really are."
Andrew stayed quite for a minute then answered "You remember Mike Phillips?" the commissioner nodded. "that is who I am." The Commissioner looked very surprised. "I should suspend you from the MLB but I know you are one of the best pitchers I have ever seen. " said the Commissioner.
Andrew went back out an pitched a one-hit shutout. Now people were getting suspicious of his talent they never even heard of him before the draft. They were about to start a series against the Yankees and their manager went to talk to the Commissioner. He had found out. Find out what will happen to Andrew in the next chapter of "A fictional story" Tomorrow.

A fictional story

Mike Phillips was one out away from a perfect game. He was baseballs next big thing and it was College championship. He planned to be drafted by the Astro's and live the high life. But at the last out of the game the batter hit a a come back line drive. It hit him in the face and he went blind. He was not drafted to the MLB at all and disappeared from all media.
Three Years Later
A man by the nae of Phillip Andrews enters the draft. He was very odd. He always wore dark tinted glass and walked very slowly as if waiting for something. He was chosen in the first round by the Giants and was the fifth pick over all. He skipped all farm leagues. He made his first start one week after he was drafted. He went out and threw a perfect game against the Orioles.
Find out how these two people are connected in the next story. You will find it on my blog tomorrow.
