It was two days later, while he was riding his bike down Main Street, that he spotted a bat in the window of Al’s Secondhand Shop. Suddenly he had an idea.

Maybe a new bat could help him reach .375!

Excited, he rode up to the window and saw that the bat was the right size. Then he saw the price: eight dollars. He had saved up some money, but not that much.

He took out his wallet and counted the money he had in it. Four dollars and twenty-eight cents. Would the shop owner hold it for him? he wondered.

He left his bike on the sidewalk and went into the shop.

“That bat in the window,” he said to the owner, a short man with glasses. “I’ve only got about four dollars. Would you hold it for me till I get the rest of it?”

“Sure, kid,” the man said. “I’ll hold it for two days. No more.”

José stared at him. Two days? Where was he going to get four dollars in two days?
