Darren Lemming is the star center fielder for the champion New York Empires. An extraordinary ball player, he fills his fans and teammates with awe on the field and off. When he makes the matter-of-fact announcement that he’s gay, he throws the team into turmoil, and emboldens his closeted accountant to come to terms with himself – and to fully experience the pure joy of watching great athletes play ball. But Darren’s revelation also sparks the twisted hostilities of the empires’ gifted but deeply racist and homophobic pitcher – from whose rage shocking consequences ensue. A true testimony to our national pastime! “An enchanting and enchanted take on baseball.” —The New York Times
