Title: A Hero Sits Next Door

Summary: When Peter accidentally hurts the new company softball player he is left with the task of finding a replacement. After Lois makes Peter go over and see their new neighbors the Swansons he sees all of Joe Swanson's softball trophies. Peter invites Joe to come play on the team and Joe accepts- but there's a problem. It turns out Joe is a cripple! After winning the softball game everyone loves Joe, and Peter gets quite jealous. In an attempt to show up Joe Peter listens to a police radio until he hears of a ban robbery. He then goes to the bank in hopes of becoming a hero.
