myself , we planned this out , all I have to do is stick to the plan . I went through the steps in my head . One , learn the player ’ s name . Two , get the player ’ s attention . Three , probably the most important step of them all , KINDLY ask for a baseball .
After this , it was finally time . I heard a fan yelling the pitcher ’ s name and realized his name was Carl Edwards Jr . Time for step two , I whispered to myself .
“ CARL EDWARDS JUNIOR !!!!” I yelled as loud as a sperm whale ’ s blow . He slowly turned his head toward me . The plan was working ! Now all I had to do was kindly ask for a ball .
“ May I please have a ball ?!” He picked up a ball and threw it right into my glove ! I was so excited I couldn ’ t contain myself . I ran over to my family and showed them my new ball . I sat down to watch Carl Edwards Jr . come into the game and even throw a strikeout .
Although the Orioles lost , I had a great day in Camden Yards !
