X Minus One — Martian Sam
Funny story about a no-talent baseball team in the future whose owner dies and his goofy son inherits the team. He hires a new player to help the last-place team win the Pennant -- an 18-inch tall Martian with arms that are 32 feet long, so he doesn't actually have to throw the balls, he just hands them to the catcher.
Great story for fans of science fiction and baseball.
