After reading a few more chapters in my book, a lot of interesting and surprising things have happened. To start, Brian's dad was in town, but only for a day because he was scouting for players to take to his team in Japan. This is the first time in forever Brian would actually be with his dad. Brian's dad went going to the Tigers game with a few other scouts, and that meant that he will see how Brian does at his job. At least that is what he thought. When they arrived at the ballpark, all Brian's father did was talk to his former teammates and talk about how he has been. Not once did he do anything with his own son. It got even worse for Brian during the game, because his father did not even look at him once to watch him do his new job for his favorite sport. In the end, Brian's father had left him again without a memory and without spending anytime with his own son.
Reading more into the book it was sort of easy to find the conflict. The conflict for Brian is with his father, who he just saw since his early childhood, and his idol Hank Bishop who is also on the Tigers team. The conflict with his dad is that he is still the way he used to be when Brian was a kid, which is being a stubborn man who only cares for himself. Brian expected his father to show some type of care since it has been so long since they've been together, but nothing changed. The conflict with his idol, Hank Bishop, is that Hank is in need of a child just like Brian which is a kid who loves the sport of baseball. Only problem is, Brian is not to sure about Hank because of his past with the steroid use. So right now Brian is in the middle between his father and his idol Hank Bishop. This would be a man vs man conflict.
