Sugar Page #6

He comes in

and sits down at the counter.

And this little waitress

comes up to him and says...

I'm sorry, we don't serve colored people.

So Vic leans close

to the waitress and he says...

That's okay. I don't eat colored people.

Understand?

She says, "We don't serve blacks."

And he says, "That's okay,

I don't eat black people."

He's my favorite!

F*** you, man.

Hey, you, too, bro.

I called the Higgins

to give you my new number.

But they said you split.

I couldn't believe it, man.

I had no idea.

Things got ugly after you left.

We all go through slumps.

You know how it is.

Yeah, but it wasn't just a slump.

What was it, then?

I don't know, but I wasn't gonna

wait for them to throw me out.

-I'm just saying...

-Whatever, man.

You wouldn't be saying

that stuff if you made it.

Maybe.

Sugar!

Rafi needs you in the kitchen.

They call you Sugar?

What can I say? The name sticks.

They got all kinds in this league...

Fat cats in their 40s,

kids like you and me...

Dominicans, Puerto Ricans,

even some white boys.

I got this 50-year-old catcher

on my team.

Used to play for the Dodgers.

Can't run for sh*t,

but he's out there every week.

Belly out to here.

But he can still go deep.

You ever hear from that kid Brad?

I got the photo you sent,

but you have to send me more.

Okay, Mom, but...

it would be easier

if you got an e-mail account.

An e-mail account?

I can barely use the TV!

I'm making you a new table.

It's going to be real nice.

I'm sure I'll love it. Thank you.

How's Erica?

She's good.

She got a job at the factory.

But just part-time,

so she can keep up with school.

And Luis?

He's pitching now.

You should see him.

He's got his brother's arm.

Sure, but can he throw

a knuckle curve?

I miss you, Mom.

I'm working hard.

I'll be home soon.

Give everyone a hug for me.

I love you, Sugar.

I love you, too.

Caballo!

How you doing?

This is Miguel, from San Pedro.

The new guy. You ready to pitch?

I think so.

It's been a while, no?

Don't worry. He's ready.

That's what I like!

Jose, meet Miguel.

They call him Sugar.

What's up, Sugar?

Jose played

for the Padres Triple-A team.

Hit a dinger off Pedro once.

-Twice.

-Twice.

I played for the Yankees.

Milwaukee Brewers.

Kansas City.

Me too. I played in Bridgetown.

Bridgetown. I was there in 2001.

I lived on a big farm.

-With the Higgins!

-Yeah, with the Higgins!

Alfredo Ruiz, Seattle.

Wilton Gonzalez, Dodgers.

Arturo Corazon, los Astros.

Orlando Encarnacion, los Mets.

Victor Santiago, los Angeles.

Rafael Espinal, Minnesota Twins.

Miguel Azucar Santos, Kansas City.

Play ball!

This isn't soccer,

you can use your hands!

Strike one.

Strike two.

Strike three.
