オブ・ザ・ベースボール

Fowles is a dull small town that no geography test will ever ask about, yet everyone has heard of it, because about once a year someone drops out of the sky there, quite literally. Locals have asked that whatever falls be rain, snow or frogs at worst, but no one in charge has listened. A drifter who lands in town joins its rescue team, the local heroes, kitted out with the baseball uniforms and bats that were sent there.
