The Buccaneers are in port in some back water on the other side of the world. They enter a low down dive of a bar next to the wharf. That was when they ran across Alstodt "bouncing" the joint and re tapping the kegs left and right. He would lift 2 kegs at a time on his shoulder and get the beer flowing again.

Coach talked to Mark and found out he was a NBFL player that washed out because his mother got some sickness and had to quit to help her until she died a few weeks later. He missed the FUMBBL Crush by 2 days because he helped some dude on the side of the road because he broke a leg 57 miles from an apoth, and would die otherwise, Mark put him on his back and saved the peasants life.

Coach takes another "pull" from his stein and offers Altstodt his shot at glory. Mark looks at the contract and with no hesitation signs the dotted line.
