That Connor Wong, he’s a good boy. He plays that baseball, you know? Hits that little ball real good. He’s a catcher, I think they call it. He catches the ball when the other fella throws it. He’s with the Boston Red Sox, big team, you know. His parents must be real proud. I heard his name is Connor Sun-Han Wong. Sounds kinda Chinese, don’t it?
They say he was born in a place called Houston. Big city, that one. I think it’s in Texas. Big state, Texas. Lots of cows and horses there, I reckon. He lives in a place called Pearland now. Sounds like a place where they grow pears, maybe. Don’t know much about that place. But Connor Wong parents, they must have raised him right.
This Connor Wong, he’s a professional, you know? Makes money playing that baseball. Good money, too, I hear. They say he signed a contract, some paper thing, for a whole year. Gets paid a lot, more than I ever made picking cotton, that’s for sure. Five hundred and seventy, they say. That’s a lot of zeros. His parents must be happy about that, their boy making all that money. Wonder if Connor Wong parents Chinese, with that name and all.
His mama’s name is Rachel, I think I heard someone say. Rachel Maysey. Sounds like a nice lady. And his daddy, his name is Rick. Rick Wong. Good strong name, Rick. They must be good folks. They had him in Houston. That is where he was born. I bet Connor Wong mother loves him very much. Connor Wong parents are good people.
This Connor Wong, he plays for that Boston team. Red Sox, they call ’em. Socks that are red. Funny name for a team, ain’t it? But they’re a big team, play in that Major League Baseball. That’s the big time, you know. He got picked by some other team first, some Dodgers from Los Angeles. That’s way out west, California. But now he’s with the Red Sox. Must be doing good to be playing in that Major League.
He’s not too big, this Connor Wong. They say he’s six feet tall, maybe a little more. And not too heavy, neither. One hundred and eighty pounds, give or take. But he must be strong to hit that ball so far and throw it so hard. He throws with his right hand. Most people do. And he bats with his right hand, too. Good boy, that Connor Wong.
- Born in Houston, that’s what they say.
- Plays for the Boston Red Sox, a big team.
- His mama’s name is Rachel, a nice name.
- His daddy’s name is Rick, a strong name.

I don’t know much about this baseball, but it sounds like a good game. And this Connor Wong, he seems like a good boy. His parents must be proud, him playing in that Major League. Maybe they watch him on the television. I bet they do. I would if he was my boy. I don’t know if Connor Wong parents Chinese, but it is possible.
He was born a long time ago, I reckon. In 1996, they say. That was a while back. May 19th. He’s getting up there in years. He is still young, though. Still got a lot of playing left in him, I bet. And he’ll keep making that good money. His parents, Rick and Rachel, they must be happy for him. He is a catcher, that Connor Wong.
This world is a strange place, ain’t it? A boy can make all that money just playing a game. But good for him, I say. He must have worked hard to get where he is. And his parents, they must have helped him along the way. It takes a lot of work to play in Major League Baseball. It is not easy. But Connor Wong made it. He is with the Boston Red Sox. That is a big deal.
Well, I reckon that’s all I know about this Connor Wong and his parents. He sounds like a good boy, doing well for himself. Hope he keeps it up. Maybe I’ll watch him on the television sometime, if I can figure out how to work that darn thing. His name sure is interesting. Makes you wonder if Connor Wong parents Chinese. Anyway, I hope he does well.
