章 485: The Letter (1)

"I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to take up baseball again. I joined my middle school team again and was able to make the Varsity squad within the first 2 months."

Ken read the words on the page and felt a smile creep onto his lips.

"I've made some good friends on the team and my coach is really nice, even if he says Ryan is a better pitcher than you (he's wrong)."

"My mom got your signed baseball framed for me so I can keep it safe. Anytime things get hard I'll see those words you wrote and remind myself never to give up. Thank you for believing in me, even though I didn't believe in myself."

"Your number 1 fan - Michael."

Ken gripped the handwritten note tightly, feeling some raw emotions after reading the touching letter. Despite his feeling of inadequacy, there was a young boy cheering for him on the other side of the globe.
