He's right down there.

You sure it's OK?

Jim wants to see you,

Mr. Piersall.

He asked for you.

Mary.

Hi, Dad.

Hello, son.

You have a good trip up?

Fine. Fine.

How's the family?

OK.

Fine. Fine.

I'm trying to get back into shape.

It's, pretty tough.

Doc Brown... Doctor Brown

comes out sometimes.

We throw it around a bit.

You think I'm out of shape,

you should see him.

Just stay well, Jim.

You know, I was thinking,

might be good to take another try

at the Red Sox outfield...

even if I don't make it.

Might not make it.

Opening day next spring,

he wants to be in Fenway Park.

It won't be easy.

Good crowd out there.

Yeah.

Good luck, Jim.

Jimmy.

Hi.

Jimmy.

Jimmy, don't go out there today.

You're scared.

Yes.

Well...

I'm scared, too.

Mary, I love you.

You don't know how much I love you.

Look, I know it's not going

to be easy out there.

But,

I... I want to.

I want to play.

So?

OK?

So go ahead now.

Go on.
