Dear Journal; April 21, 2010
As you know, I play baseball for the Magrath Pandas. And guess what! Our team is having a huge winning streak, and it is all because of our lucky diamond. Our local diamond is definately lucky. We haven't lost a game on that diamond for three seasons straight! It seems like everyone in the town always comes to our games on this diamond because its a local one, and isn't three hours away. I love our lucky diamond!

It turns out that our lucky diamond has an oil field or something under it. This big oil company is thinking about buying it so that they can get the oil and sell it. I know how important oil is these days, but that diamond is special to me. Its where I hit my first homerun and caught my first pop fly. Its also where I helped turn a triple play two innings in a row. I love that field! I really hope that the company decides not to buy it!

Sadly, the deal went through. The big global oil company is going to take our lucky diamond and turn it into an oil mine. I can't believe that it is really happening! That diamond is special to our town. Everyone has very fond memories of that place, and everyone is sad to see it go. Of course, the oil company is going to build us a new field, and they are going to use some oil money to sponsor our team, but it just isn't the same. I can't believe the deal actually went through. I have to admit that I will probably cry when they tear up the diamond. We are planning to hold a big good bye party for it. I am shocked that the money won out against our history on that field.
