From the book The Boy Who Didn't Want To Be Caught by Michael Stahl, story is told about a boy named David who was a good boy, model citizen, respectful at dinner, had lots of friends and so on. David loved playing baseball and he was very good at it and began to play with his seniors. David played as a left fielder.

One Tuesday afternoon, David was practicing with his team when they all heard a shout of pain. it was Sammy, the team's catcher that hurt his ankle. He was disappointed because he would miss the big game on Friday. The coach asked David to be the catcher for their big game on Friday, David agreed.

Derek took Davids place as left pitcher in that game and the team scored‐their three runs all because of the home run Derek hit in the sixth inning. David's team won the game, even though David did not make any direct contribution but he was happy he could help the team in ways he never could before, by playing catcher and Derek playing left field.
