Clues, Clues, and More Clues!

On Monday morning, Kate received a call from Bailey.

“I have a lot of information for your blog site, Kate,” Bailey said gleefully. “Hope you’re ready for this. I’ve been working extra hard!”

“Am I ever!” Kate said. “And thanks! Let me get to the computer so I can write all of this down!” She dashed downstairs with Sydney on her heels. Opening a blank screen, she said, “Go ahead, Bailey. I’m ready!”

“Great. Well, let’s get started. I wrote down a lot of notes since I went to the library. Hmm, let’s see…” She paused a moment. “I’ll start with this information. The team was founded over a hundred years ago.”

“Wow. A hundred years? I didn’t even know there was baseball that long ago,” Kate said. She couldn’t imagine it!

“There was!” Bailey responded. “And Philadelphia had a team! But did you know they weren’t always called the Phillies? They were originally called the Quakers.”

“Wow. The Quakers? That’s interesting. What else?”

“The Phillies are a major league team,” Bailey explained, never missing a beat.

“That’s good?” Kate asked.

“Yes, Mystery Queen,” Bailey said. “They’re professionals. And they’re also members of the eastern division of the National League.”

Kate didn’t know what that meant, exactly, but typed it anyway. Maybe Sydney could fill her in later. “What else?”

“The Phillies won the World Series championship in 1980,” Bailey continued. “Against Kansas City. They had a video clip of that at the library.”

“Wow, a world championship,” Kate responded, scribbling down the information. “That’s good, right?”

“Yes, my baseball-deprived friend. That’s good.” Bailey laughed. “They also won the National League East Division in 2007. And in 2008 they changed their uniforms.” She went on to explain lots of other things about the team, and before long Kate had tons of information to add to the blog site. Oh, she could hardly wait! It would be the coolest Phillies site ever! One that hundreds—no, thousands—of people would want to visit!

Wow! Kate could hardly believe it! She quickly scribbled down the things Bailey told her. Oh, I hope I’m not missing anything! She’d never typed so quickly.

“Oh, Bailey, terrific!” Kate said as they finished. “Thank you, big-time! And…go Phillies!” For the first time, she really meant those words. It felt good to finally be a fan!

She ended the call with a giggle. Then Sydney called Alex, getting even more information! Afterward, they signed online and Kate plugged in the information, making the site the best it could be. After that, she tweaked the colors a bit and then wrote an upbeat article about Tony Smith, telling what a great player he was and how much he loved the team. She read through it three times just to make sure it was good. For fun, she even uploaded a couple of cool pictures she’d taken with her camera at that first game, pictures of Tony catching a ball. That should get people interested in the site and in Tony! And it should prove that he was still a great player, despite what people thought about him.
