You work in Denver, Colo. for the AP. Your editor shows you this classified advertisement from the Clear Creek Courant and suggests you call Joe Pretz and try to develop a story. You do. Mrs. Pretz calls Joe to the phone. He is 10 years old, and he tells you, "We can't play in the Little League when the games start June 14 unless we have a coach. There are 14 of us, 8 to 11 years old. We are all ready. Except for a coach. We have been practicing anyway. Everyone we ask is busy. No one has the time." You ask Joe Pretz, "What's the best reason someone should coach your team?" He answers, "Because we need a coach." The name of the team is the Georgetown Red Sox.
