(upbeat music)
Captain Sisko: Yes, first day of practice
and it's an exciting time.
Am I right?
Team: Oh yeah.
Captain Sisko: Yeah, there we go.
There we go.
That's the spirit.
Now first, let me introduce you
to our pitcher and our secret weapon,
Jake, The Slider, Sisko.
(laughter)
Man: Good luck, Jake.
Man 2: Very nice.
Captain Sisko: Now, all the other positions
are still open for tryouts.
Every one of you here today has seen at least one baseball
game with me in the holosuite.
Now I know it looks simple.
You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball,
but it is not that easy.
It's a difficult game.
It was a difficult game to play,
even for seasoned professionals
who spent their lifetime practicing.
And now we have less than two weeks
to build a team and to face the opponent.
Now I know what some of you were thinking,
"How are we going to beat the logicians?"
They're all Vulcans,
They're stronger and faster than any one of us,
except for Worf and our genetically enhanced doctor.
But there is more to baseball than physical strength.
It's about courage, and it's also about faith,
and it is also about heart.
And if there's one thing Vulcan friends lack, it's heart.
I think we can beat them.
I know we can beat them.
Man: Yeah.
Captain Sisko: We are going to beat them.
Am I right?
Team: Yeah.
Captain Sisko: I can't hear you.
Team: Yeah.
Captain Sisko: Are we going to beat the Vulcans?
I can't hear you.
Team: Yeah.
Captain Sisko: All right then.
Let's play some baseball.
