Very good baseball story. Steroid usage discussed. Good characters that are believable. (

Good summer baseball book. Cliche at parts (okay, most of the time), but enjoyable. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

I was one of those moments when Brian felt as if baseball was close enough for him to reach out and touch. Like his hands around the handle of a bat. Or like he was on the mound, his fingers making sure the seams of the ball were just right.
