Synopsis for "Once a Hero"

After Troll beats him at a game of pool, Badrock angrily belittles Troll as a “new guy”. Troll cuts him off and tells him a story from his long career as an adventurer.  In 1944, Troll took a job coaching a women’s baseball team in Florida, and under his tutelage, they made it to the championship series in New York City. After checking into his hotel, Troll received a phone call from President Roosevelt ordering him to come to the White House.  Roosevelt asked Troll to stop Nazi scientist Otto Weicker from building an atomic bomb. The next morning, Troll parachuted onto a research compound in Germany, found Weicker’s lab, and destroyed it.  After he returned to the U.S., he was hailed as a hero, and President Roosevelt awarded him an all-expenses paid trip to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.  Upon arrival, Troll was stunned to find his visage had been added to the monument.  However, Weicker was waiting to kill him with an energy weapon.  When Weicker fired it, Troll dodged the blast and subdued him, but the blast destroyed the sculpture of Troll’s face on the mountain.  Having finished his tale, Troll calls Badrock the new guy and tells him to rack up the pool balls for another game.
