First, a scout from a Major League Baseball club learns about promising players and watches them in action. If impressed, the scout informs the team of players with potential. Then, the team drafts the players and signs them to a contract. But it's not for the majors. The prospects next go into the team's minor league system to refine skills. Finally, if all the stars align, a player gets "called up" to the majors, where he strives to make the most of this rare opportunity.

Many people think that a whale is a kind of fish. A whale is not a fish at all. But whales and fish are much alike.

Like fish, whales spend their lives in the water. Whales and fish both have fins. They use the fins to swim.

Whales are different from fish in an important way. A fish can breathe underwater. A whale cannot. A whale must come to the top of the water to take a breath. It takes in air through a hole on its back.
