![]() ![]() ![]() Nonsense and chaos reign, but of course Matthew bats the winning home run to make the Toronto Turkeys “Champeens of the Universe.”Īs in other dream fantasies, the absurdities of the midnight ball game are grounded in the events of Matthew’s daily life his mother has cheerfully called him a turkey for bouncing his ball against the house, and instructed him how to get the ball back from the neighbour’s dog. No dancing in the dugout, no yo-yos in the pen, and absolutely no bungee jumping with less than two outs.” The third base turkey fires up a barbecue on the pitcher’s mound, the catcher has his dog along to help, and the opposition team – the Montreal Posties – go on strike and throw lots of mail up into the air. This is a ball game with a difference, however the manager (a buzzard) reminds his turkeys: “Don’t eat hot dogs when you’re up at bat, eat ’em on deck or on base…. Daytime fantasies about a ball game on World Series day become nighttime dreams of a journey with the Toronto Turkeys to play Turkeyball in the Dome. Just in time for baseball season comes this latest offering in the Morgan/Martchenko series about young Matthew’s dream adventures. ![]()
