1000

One by one the fans left their seats and marched onto the field - toward Dobie.

And the players threw down their gloves and joined them -

And Dobie's own team rose from the dugout and joined them -

And the TV camera ment and the reporters - and the owners - all moving slowly toward him

Dobie Wallender began to run -

He sprinted across the field -

Skirted the left field fence -

— and was gone.
