  • ... until his wild throw whacks Owen in the head.
  • Henry slowly crumbles until he eventually quits the team in the middle of a game.
  • He sleeps with Mike's girlfriend, Pella, then moves in with her, doing nothing but peeing in bottles and watching TV all the time.

  • Henry helps the team win—hooray!
  • He gets drafted by his favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals. Hooray again!
  • But he turns them down and decides to stay at Westish and play on the team because he doesn't want anything to ever change. Um, hooray?
