Heat
By Mike Lupicia
Important scene to me
"You cannot teach somebody to have an arm like yours," Papi would say, walking out from behind the plate and sticking the ball back inside Michael's glove. Like they were having a conference on the mound during a game. "It's something you are born with, a gift from the gods, like a singer's voice. Or a boxer's left hand. Or an artist's brush."
