Table of Contents
This novel contains 77 short chapters, following three baseball players seeking to go from minor-league baseball to Major League Baseball in 1972. It explores the relationships between these young men and their parents, as well as between each other, as they face fierce competition at a time when baseball didn't pay its superstars what it does today. It's a quest, a dream, a yearning inside their souls, just as it is inside the souls of everyone else who's trying to make it to the big time.
The novel takes side trips into Civil Rights, the criminal justice system and other issues contemporary to that time as well as to today's Americans.
