    Imagine coming back to the office and trying to explain that to your editor, though?

    Editor: So who won?
    Writer: The umm...the Beavers. Wolf. There was a wolf.
    Editor: They weren't playing the Wolves. That was last week. They were playing the Cadets today. What are you jabbering about? Are you drunk again?
    Writer: The point guard. He turned into a werewolf in the second quarter. Finished with a quadruple-double.
    Editor: Oh, I get it! You mean he was like an animal on the court! That makes sense now. A little cheesy, but we can work with it. Can you squeeze it into 12 inches?
    Writer: The guy was a fucking werewolf! He had hair all over his body! After the game, the little prick chased my car because of something I wrote about the team last month!
    Editor: The Howard kid? Yeah, I guess he is becoming a man. He's about that age. I remember covering him in Y ball. I didn't think he was that confrontational, though. So he followed you to your car?
    Writer: No, he chased it. Down the street. He was running after it. I didn't lose him until I hit the interstate.
    Editor: Well, we'll have to have a talk with the AD about that.
    Writer: I...I just can't deal with this. I'm on a werewolf's shit list. I may need to quit.
    Editor: Finish your story first, then you can go home.

    And the next day, the Beavers' parents start calling the editor:

    "YOU ONLY COVER US WHEN OUR POINT GUARD BECOMES A WOLF!"

    Bad News Bears vs. Yankees

    Yeah, it's little league, but that would have been a hell of a gamer.

    Allow me to go literary on y'all. The thousand-inning epic between the 1908 Chicago Cubs and the Iowa Baseball Confederacy all-stars. Any game where Death plays outfield might be worth a look.

    Or Quentin Cassidy's mile vs. John Walton in "Once a Runner."

    The raft race in "Up The Creek."
    The Ridgemont High game where Jefferson goes nuts because the other school trashed his car.
    The state championship game where Angel High wins - much to the chagrin of Porky, who bet on the other team.
