"It was really nice to be able to give back to the community," stated one of the players when being questioned about the new teammate. "He may be mentally, um...different, but on the field, he's just Andy to us."
The number one indoor soccer team at All-American has allowed a mentally handicapped player to be a part of their crew.
"He's kind of like a mascot," mused one of his teammates, "I mean, he doesn't do much other than run around with his hands in the air and wheeze like an asthmatic chicken, but that gives us hope - hey, if he can do all this with the brain capacity of a newt and the athletic charm of a dead turtle, what am I capable of?"
The new teammate takes a quick break after having an accident in his pants.
Actually, Daniel - that wasn't an accident. I enjoyed my own perfomance so heartily that I wet my pants. I do that when I enjoy myself.
On purpose. Every time. Come rain or shine.

Come on Andy, admit it, you were scared out there playing with the adults.
