It's baseball season again，and Hank Snydder is back on the field.He has been back from the accident that kept him out of the game for the season last year，and that cost the Muggers last year's championship.Baseball fans in the city of Midvale are happy and George Brenner，the Muggers' owner，is happy too, because when Hank plays the team wins and the games sell out.“Last year's attendance was all time low when Hank was out，”said Brenner.“We're glad to have him back in uniform.”

Needless to say，the Muggers pay Hank well.But other teams have offered him a million dollars.Still，Hank has been faithful to the Muggers up to now.But there is a rumor(謠傳)that Hank might play for the Suffers of Sun City next year.A newspaper reporter asked Hank if there was any truth in it.He said.“Nothing has been decided，but I have to admit that I could be leaving Midvale after this season.”What about another rumor that Hank might be getting married? “That's true.” Hank replied，“and I'm very happy about it.”

There is no need to ask how Midvale or George Brenner would feel about losing Hank.But is Hank completely happy about the changes that may be taking place in his life? “Only one thing troubles me，”he said.“I've always loved the Muggers' blue uniforms.It will take me some time to get used to the Suffers' green and gold uniforms.”
