INT. ABRAHAM'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
ABRAHAM listens to the Mets baseball game on the radio. It is the top of the ninth inning. There are two outs and the Met pitcher has faced the minimum 26 batter so far.
ANNOUNCER (O.S.): Pinch hitting for the Giants will be Gregor Blanco. He's hitting .242 with 2 home runs and 20 RBIs. The left-handed hitter is their last hope to end this thing Wheeler's got going for him...here's the first pitch...ball one, a slider, belt high, but a little inside...the crowd is on edge...strike one, Blanco looked at a fastball right over the plate at the knees...what drama here at the Stadium...one ball and one strike...swung on and missed, a curve ball, almost in the dirt...one ball and two strikes. One strike away for Wheeler and immortality...swung on, a line drive into right field, here comes Bruce, he dives...and makes a great catch for the third out. Zach Wheeler has pitched the first perfect game in the history of the New York Mets.
ABRAHAM turns off the radio, not sure what to think.
