According to Banjo H. Bishbash, better-known as The Great Walloper, springtime in Rambletown means one thing-another season of Rounders baseball. But old man winter has delivered more snow than the post office has delivered mail. The only way the Rounders are getting to first base is with a snow shovel. As the team tries to "warm up" for the upcoming season, they welcome a new centerfielder: Orlando Ramirez. He makes one spectacular grab after another. Only one problem, those great catches end with him smashing into the outfield wall like a crash test dummy. His grip on the ball may be vise-like, but after so many high-speed collisions, the kid's looking shakier than an ice cream frappe. With the season opener against the hated Haymakers approaching, Orlando and the Rounders will need a miracle-or a really big shovel-to put the brakes on Orlando's collision course with the wall and this never-ending cold spell.
