This story tells about first baseman, Turtleneck Jones, and how getting hurt changes his confidence playing baseball. He is no longer eager to go after the ball for fear he might get hurt again. When his coach replaces him at first base, Turtleneck really loses all confidence. Matt Christopher tells a story full of action, while teaching about overcoming fears.
