When Joe woke up, Joe noticed he was in different room. Honus came out from the bathroom and saw “Stosh”, but was unsure if it really was Joe because he had aged. Joe looked in the mirror and noticed he needed a shave. Honus and Joe left for the baseball game. Walking into the stadium, the fans noticed Honus and thought that Joe was Honus’ brother, Butts. Joe told Honus he was living a dream come true. Honus said, “ Not yet it ain’t.”
