Hope in Despair: An Angel's Presence
Mel Clark I've got nothing left.
George Knox Yeah, you do. You've got one strike left.
George Knox You've got an angel with you right now... just got here, and he's going to help.
Mel Clark The kid sees an angel?
George Knox Yeah, he must. That's the signal.
George Knox It could happen.
[moved by seeing the crowd]
Mel Clark Okay.
[After a long pause gives a smile]
George Knox Go get em for the championship!
[laughs]
Belief in Angels and Acceptance in Sports
Maggie Excuse me. I'd, uh, I'd like to say something on behalf of George Knox.
[Stands Up]
Hank Murphy Uh, what's your name? What's your business here?
Maggie My name is Maggie Nelson. I take care of foster kids. One of these boys is, uh, the child who can see angels. He could stand up right now and tell you exactly what's happened, and I know you'd just laugh at him. But when a professional football player drops to one knee to thank God after making a touchdown, nobody laughs at that. Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, nobody laughs at that either. Seems like you're saying it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels. Now, I thought they were on the same team.
Hank Murphy Is it your belief, ma'am that, uh, angels play baseball?
Maggie Since the all-star break, yes.
Maggie We all need somebody to watch out for us. Every kid I have ever taken care of has been looking for someone to love: an angel. You've got to have faith. You've got to believe. You've got to look inside yourself. The footprints of an angel are love. And where there is love, miraculous things can happen. I've seen it.
[sits]
Mel Clark I'd also like to say something. I don't know if there are angels out there, other than the twenty-five of us in uniform. But I know, there is one thing I won't do. I won't play for anyone but George Knox. I believe in him.
[standing]
Triscuitt Messmer That goes for me too.
[stands]
George Knox Thank you...all of you.
[visibly moved and astonished]
Hank Murphy Print what you want. George Knox is the manager of the ballclub. And if there are any angels out there, I sure hope they're on our side.
[all present cheer]
