The Day the Aces Got Trumped
The year is 1895, and the town of Singletree, Montana, is celebrating its Silver Jubilee. Almost everyone within twenty miles of the little mining and cattle town sets aside work and heads for town to cut the badger loose. There's plenty to eat and drink, a pharaoh tent, a medicine show, a parade, and a performance by Singletree favorites Sam and Gracie. Highlighting the festivities is a baseball game between a group of locals and a team of barnstorming professionals calling themselves The Excelsior Aces. Now, mind you, no one really thinks that a bunch of inexperienced locals can beat professionals; but before the day is over, winning and losing will have little to do with baseball. For the citizens of Singletree, at least, this will forever be The Day the Aces Got Trumped
