VIP Treatment
Jose lived in San Juan, and all he ever wanted was to see a baseball game in Yankee Stadium. Jose loved baseball; and, most of all, he loved the Yankees.
He worked and saved and, at long last, bought a ticket, took a plane; but when he got to Yankee Stadium, it was all sold out. Not a seat was to be had. Jose pleaded so much that he touched the heart of the ticket office people, and they found him a seat way out in the bleachers behind the flagpole. Jose finally saw his baseball game and went back to Puerto Rico, flying so high he almost didn’t need a plane.
“Well, Jose,” they asked when he returned, “how was it?”
Jose raved! The stadium, the game, the Yankees, and most of all–the fans, so friendly, so concerned about him that before the game they all stood up and turned to him and sang, “Jose? Can you see?”
