Experience Tumblr like never before
the manhattan cardinals are a baseball team that is like,, alright
the star player is the always amazing jack kelly
miss medda is their coach
sarah is the team manager
race, specs, albert, finch, all of the manhattan boys are on the manhattan team
crutchie is the mascot, a cardinal named charlie cardinal
the brooklyn batters is the best team in the whole league
the batters and the cardinals share a rival: the new york rats
which jack likes to call the ‘rich no balls’
pulitzer (young, so he’s basically kath’s brother, not dad), the delanceys, and snyder (he’s younger, too) are all on the rats
katherine is the team manager
wiesel is the referee that the rats try and bribe so they can win
it works
davey got put on the manhattan cardinals after his father wanted him to play a sport
les became the cute little water boy
after a manhattan v brooklyn game, race and spot go missing for a few hours
spot is a sore loser, but he is very happy when race wins a game (unless race beats him)
the ny rats cheat their way to the top, beating every other team except for the manhattan one
the manhattan cardinals and richy no balls are the last two, since davey and jack both did amazing playing
katherine caught on to the bribing her team was doing and decided to tell the manhattan team
she told jack
in response, jack went to pulitzer to stop the bribing, because if he was going to win, he wanted it to be fair
pulitzer tried to bribe him
and failed
fast foward to the game
wiesel was taken out as referee because they caught on to him cheating
roosevelt is the new referee
oscar delancey hit crutchie in the head when he was batting
crutchie had to be taken to the medic center halfway through the game
jack wanted to give up after that
but davey and kath came and yelled at him
jack went back out there and played his hardest
and the manhattan cardinals WON
the rats got kicked out of the league because of the cheating
