The Cash Boy

A young boy raised by a caring foster family discovers his knack for baseball while still searching for his own name. When the boys of Crawford gather to form an Excelsior Club, his natural talent and good‑natured leadership earn him the captain’s hat, even though he doubts his own qualifications. The clubhouse becomes a lively arena where friendships form, rivalries spark, and the town’s spirit rallies around the game.

Beyond the diamond, Frank’s generosity toward an elderly stranger and his quiet perseverance begin to peel back the mystery of his past. As he balances the responsibilities of captain, treasurer, and secretary, he learns that honesty and hard work can open doors to unexpected help and revelations. Listeners will be drawn into a heartfelt tale of youthful ambition, community, and the search for identity, all set against the backdrop of late‑19th‑century small‑town life.
