GIRARDI
Now, there are a lotta pitchers that
started out wild and, after workin’
it out in the minors, for a while,
went on to great careers.
(pointing to a picture
on the wall)
Take Sandy Koufax there…
Hughes looks at the picture on the wall. He squints slightly.
Girardi notices it.
HUGHES
What about Koufax?
GIRARDI
Never mind Koufax.
Girardi quickly prints some big letters on a legal pad and
goes to stand about fifteen feet from Hughes.
GIRARDI
Read these letters, starting at the
top.
Hughes balks a second and then concentrates on the pad,
squinting. Unsettled, he squints harder. He even tries closing
one eye.
GIRARDI
Can’t read it, can you?
Hughes shakes his head no.
HUGHES
You gonna send me to the minors?
GIRARDI
Nope.
