Description
"Bailey's second novel mixes baseball, romantic tension and testosterone into a satisfying cocktail of prose. It bubbles and percolates with action and tension." -Tampa Tribune
From the moment he's drafted, Del Tanner shows the Twins a smooth left-handed stroke and a slick glove at first base. But his path is blocked by players who possess the one thing he lacks-power. When a teammate's injury is the only thing to spare him on cutdown day, the message is clear: Put more balls over the fence or find a new line of work. His aspiring agent connects him with a steroid dealer operating out of the back room of a South Florida funeral parlor. After a winter in Mexico, pumping iron by day and riding the bench by night, Del reports to spring training sporting twenty additional pounds of muscle. Suddenly a legitimate power threat, he ascends from the ranks of the unknown to American League Rookie of the Year. Within days of being so honored, allegations surface of his performance-enhancing drug use, forcing him on the defensive as he fights to restore his reputation and repair his personal relationships.
"Bailey hasn't just given us a great read. He's given us an important window into a topic we can't seem to stop talking about." -JAYSON STARK
