Career minor league baseball player Jake O'Brien is called up to join the Cleveland Indians at the age of 37. His success with the Indians, however, doesn't free O'Brien from the implications of tragic events in his past life. The novel is a celebration of baseball as national mythology, the history of a passionate love affair, and a coming of age story of a heroic figure trying to find his humanity.
