“What happened to you?”asked Evan.
“My knee cap is bruised really badly”said Billy.
“Dang”!said Evan.”So you can 't play on saturday?”
“No!”Billy replied grumpily.”Well,my dad is taking me to the Cubs game tonight,and bring your glove just incase you catch a foul ball or get a toos up or something like that.”

Billy Joe Bob likes baseball. He lives in a little brown house on the east side of Toledo, OH in a crime filled neighborhood. One day Billy was playing fetch with his dog. Billy threw a baseball and the dog would retrieve it and bring it back. Billy loves the game of fetch. Him and his dog have a lot of fun and Billy is becoming better at baseball.
While completing his education, Billy and his wife Valencia fell in love. Valencia was the daughter of the owner and founder of the school. In the middle of Billy’s final year at the Ilium School for Optometry, Billy committed himself to a veteran’s hospital for nonviolent mental patients. While there, Billy was introduced to books by Kilgore Trout, who he later in life became very good friends with. Later, Billy and his wife Valencia had two children, a son named Robert, who is now a green beret and served in the Vietnam War, and a daughter named Barbara. He is lived on by both of his children and their

Billy is a character trying to escape the reality of his life through fantasy but quickly sees that no matter what he does he cannot escape the events of his life that he experienced. I believe this piece is somewhat of an autobiography of Vonnegut. Like his main character, he has lived a life feeling he has little purpose and playing things safe as he tries to move past the traumatic events he has witnessed. Even through fantasy, he cannot escape reality. The horrors of the actions of people continue to follow him in every step
Billy was a hopeless creature with a face filled with such desolation that he brought out the humanity in people as they took pity on him. Whenever they walked past his spot on Sixth Avenue they made sure to drop him a coin or two and say a prayer, while ignoring every other penniless person down the street. Even those more unfortunate than him gave him money, one time, a homeless man approached him,
The simple fact of being a pitcher is enough to provoke some initial friction in some of the old-timers, who end up accepting him with authority but also friendliness. Among the vets and freshmen there are a few who deserve a special mention: the seductive Finnegan (Glen Powell) who loves to talk about his penis with the girls; the competitive Glen McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin) who freaks out just for losing a ping-pong game; Jay Niles (Juston Street) who was transferred from Detroit carrying a risible bad temper; the cool dude, Willoughby (Wyatt Russell), whose biggest happiness is to smoke weed with friends; the weird Nesbit (Austin Amelio), champion of the silly knuckle-flicking game; and Billy Autrey (Will Brittain), also called Beuter, who is the most restrained of the guys due to his serious commitment with a girlfriend who says she may be
Since Billy was 3 years old he hasn’t had a permanent home. When he was young he He lived in New York in a little apartment with his parents.
However, Billy knows that’s not the real problem. The real problem that the scouts couldn’t figure out was that Billy was trying figure out how to build a team on a limited budget that can compete against with big-money. Things don’t start to turn around for the team until Billy trades clubhouse problem, Jeremy Giambi, and all-star first baseman, Carlos Pena. Billy didn’t Jeremy Giambi attitude and the way he acts off the field, which is that he parties a too much.
Billy was born August 31, 2004, the firstborn, if you don’t count his labrador, Sonny, who is a year older than him. In addition to Sonny, whom he considers a “brother,” Billy also has two younger brothers, Bailey, who’s 9, and Brody, who’s 6. His mom, Julie, a former teacher, inspired his love of writing and his dad, Bill, an all-around great athlete, inspired his love of sports. Besides playing sports together, Billy and his family enjoy taking trips together. They have been to New York City,
A reason for Billy being so unattached would be PTSD. PTSD leaves people feeling alone and depressed. He is having flashbacks of parts of his life and at the end of the book he is reliving his moments during the war.
"Hey, don't take it personally man, everybody makes mistakes," Austin said beside me. "Besides, it's not you. Jack's dad has been hovering close to Bullog all game, who knows what he's been saying to him. Bet his dad wants scouts to see his son
Both teams desperately needed those few points to claim victory. “We’re only looking at one more home run to advance to the playoffs,” said my dad excitedly. The stadium became unusually quiet when our batter stepped up to the plate. The visiting team’s catcher signaled the pitcher. In slow motion, I saw the pitcher throw a fastball and a few seconds that seemed like minutes went by, and I heard a crack. The loudest, wood shattering crack of the game. I looked up and the ball was on it’s way over the fence into the crowd towards me. I raised my glove up with a small hope of catching it. “Come on son, you got this. This one’s yours!” yelled my dad. A second later I felt something smack my glove. I was in utter disbelief, and everyone cheered around me. This night had gotten so much better than it already was. The game was over, we had won. Fireworks erupted above the stadium and lit up the night sky like it was daytime. “We did it son, we did it! We’re going to the playoffs!” yelled my dad excitedly. It was a surreal moment. Upon exiting the stadium, I couldn’t wait for the moment we would return. But this time, it would be the
“You need to brush up on your soccer skills. I’ll meet you outside,” my dad said.
