Dear Richard,
Congratulations on your unbroken record. Eight straight losses, wow! I understand you’re the laughing stock of New Jersey.
Your former friend, Janet
P.S. Why don’t you and your team forget about baseball and learn something nice like knitting maybe?
Dear Janet,
Here’s the silver horseback riding trophy that you gave me. I don’t think I want to keep it anymore.
Your former friend, Richard
P.S. I didn’t think you’d be the kind who’d kick a man when he’s down.
Inning 5
Dear Richard,
I wasn’t kicking exactly. I was kicking back.
Your former friend, Janet
P.S. In case you were wondering, my batting average is .345.
Dear Janet,
Alfie is having his tonsils out tomorrow. We might be able to let you catch next week.
Richard
Inning 6
Dear Richard, I pitch.

Dear Janet,
Joel is moving to Kansas and Danny sprained his wrist. How about a permanent place in the outfield?
