Thank you, Tony Lefrana. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives of where to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world.

Family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family. Tonight, family theatre takes great pleasure in presenting the kid from scratch gravel, starring Ted DiCorsio as Skip, with Billy Borkham as Lefty. My name is Commodore Dewey Dunham, but everybody calls me Skip.

The skip comes from the fact that I'm skipper, a manager of a big league baseball club known as the Panthers. Two years ago we finished a loud seven. And last year, well, we were in the cellar and things were really tough.

Then one day, long about mid-season, I got a report on a kid picture that one of our scout's snuffy casper is high on. A Southpaw named... Lefty Partlow is real names lock and Partlow and he lives in a whistle stop down an ark and saw called Scratch Gravel.

I ain't kiddin' Skip it Scratch, gravel, you can look it up in the dictionary. Skip it. How old is this part law? Nineteen, it'll be twenty next February. What's he done? What's he done? All he's done is win seventeen and lose one so far this year playing semi-pro.

And the only one he drops he should have win. That semi-pro, what's he got? He's got a fast ball with a hop on it like you ain't seen since Dizzy Dean come up to the cards from Houston.
