Publisher Notes
Pitching prodigy Michael Arroyo is on the run from social services after being banned from playing Little League baseball because rival coaches doubt he is only twelve years old and he has no parents to offer them proof. Simultaneous.
Media Reviews
"[Mike Lupica] has the veteran sportswriter's gift of dialogue and muscular prose, employed well in creating believable characters and well-developed action scenes."
