Jose's Baseball Game
Jose lived in San Juan, and
all he ever wanted was to see a baseball game
in Yankee Stadium. Jose loved baseball, he
loved the Yankees.
He worked and saved and at long last bought a
ticket, took a plane, but when he got to
Yankee Stadium, it was all sold out. Not a
seat to be had. Jose pleaded, touched the
heart of the ticket office and they found him
a seat way out in the bleachers behind the
flagpole.
Jose saw his baseball game and went back to
Puerto Rico, flying so high he almost didn't
need a plane.
"Well, Jose," they asked when he returned,
"how was it?"
Jose raved. The Stadium, the game, the
Yankees … And most of all the fans, so
friendly, so concerned about him that before
the game they all stood up and turned to him
and sang, "Jose? Can you see?"
