"They must,it is heaven you know."said Fred with a smile on his face .He toss the ball to him and asked" I wonder if you could steal  and do indian rubber?"Fred said jokenly.They both laught and continued toss the ball to each other.
                 
                 Time went one and many games came to past.Then a day came when Fred was struck dead on by a Drunk Driver and died instently.After the funeral Billy wasn't the same again.He wouldn't want anything to do with base ball.He put away all of his gloves, bats and balls up in the attic never to play with them again.

            Many years has gone by .Billy still have not got over the death of his dear friend Fred.He remeber the games they played and watched together.With the death of his  wift of last winter ,he was even more depressed.Days went by and seasons past.
