Description

Whether you believe in fate, the stars, or divine intervention, you can always count on one thing--life will throw you a wicked curveball or two. Billy Bryan has seen his share. It is 1947, and Bryan is playing winter ball in Cuba for the Washington Senators, immersing himself in the decadent nightlife of Havana, and dreaming of someday making it to the majors. But his future on the diamond is as uncertain as Cuba itself, a country where rumblings of revolution hang in the air like a high fly ball to the left. Then, one fateful night, Bryan witnesses a young student radical named Fidel unleash an amazing curveball. So begins Billy's tug-of-war with destiny--to win the heart of the woman he loves, score a victory in the game he worships, and find his way in a world racing toward revolution.
