So I mentioned ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
baseballfantasy earlier this weekend but thought I should add more to that. Not that I know more to add but I do know that there is still time to nominate a team. Mine just happens to be the crew of Serenity... pre-BDM and with a relatively sane River.
It's this cool combination of baseball and fanfic. You might check it out if you like both... as I do! *grins* Come join in the fun.
Here is my nomination:
A group of people huddled together in the middle of the room, their animated conversation getting louder as the time for a decision grew closer.
"We need your arm in the outfield," an intense young man nearly shouted for the third time. If he felt he was being ignored, he was correct. The man he was speaking to, a rough sort of fellow with a knife and a grimace, was demanding to know why he couldn't pitch.
"Pitch? You?" Simon tried to laugh but found that he was loosing his voice from all the yelling he'd been doing. "Be reasonable, Jayne. Odds are you'll get upset over something in the game and the last thing we need it to have you responsible for getting the ball over home plate without hitting the batter."
Kaylee, her face streaked with grease even though she'd tried to make herself presentable before coming off the ship, added to the noise and irritation level by giggling.
"Stop that racket, Kaylee."
"Yes, Captain. Sorry, Captain." She was barely holding herself in check.
A bank of television screens suddenly flickered to life and one single face filled all the screens. "Have you come to a decision? I gave you the half hour you requested to put together the roster."
Mal, the captain of this ragtag group both on board Serenity and on the baseball field, growled, "Considering we only just learned what this sport is all about, I don't think a mere thirty minutes is long enough to pick a team, Mr. Universe."
"No matter. I've run your strengths and weaknesses through my many programs and I've come up with the roster. I think you'll all agree this is much better than anything you'll come up with by yelling at each other." He held up a computer printout to the screen but no one was exactly leaping to their feet. Finally he moved it aside just enough so he could see around it. "Jayne's the catcher."
There was a howl of laughter from everyone but the man in question. He growled and lifted the knife in a threatening gesture.
As the rest of them scrambled to see where they might be playing, River rested a hand on Jayne's shoulder. "This way you'll get to have the final say."
