First appearance: our baseball club and how it won the championship
As a supporting figure in Our Baseball Club and How It Won the Championship, James Kennedy is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Jamie Kennedy steps to the plate for the Calumets and reaches first when Morrison fumbles his line drive, then steals second on a passed ball and scores on Charlie Webb's base hit. His small, scrappy sequence of plays typifies the kind of opportunistic baserunning that decides close matches in this league. Against the Catalpas' championship ambitions, Kennedy represents the persistent opposition that must be answered inning after inning.
