[at a press conference, where George Knox's employment appears to be hanging in the balance] [Stands Up]

Excuse me. I'd, uh, I'd like to say something on behalf of George Knox.

Uh, what's your name? What's your business here?

My name is Maggie Nelson. I take care of foster kids. One of these boys is, uh, the child who can see angels. He could stand up right now and tell you exactly what's happened and I know you'd just laugh at him. But when a professional football player drops to one knee to thank God after making a touchdown, nobody laughs at that. Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, nobody laughs at that. Seems like you're saying it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels. Now I thought they were on the same team.

Is it your belief, ma'am that, uh, angels play baseball?

Since the all-star break, yes.

[the crowd laughs]

We all need somebody to watch out for us. Every kid I have ever taken care of has been looking for someone to love: an angel. You've got to have faith. You've got to believe. You've got to look inside yourself. The footprints of an angel are love. And where there is love, miraculous things can happen. I've seen it.

[standing]

I'd also like to say something. I don't know if there are angels out there, other than the twenty-five of us in uniform. But I know, there is one thing I won't do. I won't play for anyone but George Knox. I believe in him.

[stands]

That goes for me too.

[all the other Angels players stand in support, along with David, Roger JP and the reporters (besides Ranch Wilder)] [visibly moved and astonished]

Thank you...all of you.

Print what you want. George Knox is the manager of the ballclub. [all present cheer] And if there are any angels out there, I sure hope they're on our side.
