Heavy leaden skies over the arachnoid stands and floodlights

of Elland Road stadium: home to Leeds United football club.


And rain. Sheets of angry, Yorkshire rain.

Flashlights pop as DON REVIE, (late 40's), the most

successful manager in English football, walks out in front of

a pack of newspaper and TV REPORTERS. He is flanked by the

Chairman of Leeds United, (MANNY CUSSINS, 60's), and several

other white-haired blazer-wearing members of the Board.

          RICK STEVENS, thirty-six, is Middle America personified. He

blends in at the crowded ballpark. Blue jeans, work boots, a

ball cap and leather jacket complete his attire. He snacks on

a bag of popcorn. The CRACK of the bat and the CROWD is on

their feet. A BALL PLAYER slides safely into second with a

double. JOHN SILVERSTEIN, thirty-three, business clad, talks

on his cell phone. Calm and collected he appears unaffected

by the cheering crowd. The sits with the crowd.



                              RICK

                    Helluva talent, that kid.
