Getting to First Base
Frank is confused, frustrated, horny, and still a virgin at nineteen when he finally comes to the realization he’s gay. Now what to do about it? An excellent college baseball player Frank strikes out in the romance department, although he has an idol−material for his sexual fantasies−Cody, the strikingly handsome team captain.
Frank’s relationship with Cody is purely platonic until they’re both accepted to the same Major League farm team, and their college coach decides the young men should assist him during spring training to prepare the team for the fall season, which begins after Frank and Cody graduate and move on in their careers. The two young college athletes are alone in the locker room after assisting in a training session when Cody does something upsetting to Frank−the team captain takes care of a difficult condition in front of his teammate and friend. Frank’s reaction puts a freeze on their relationship. After three chilly weeks, Frank faces a dilemma, how to thaw the situation without embarrassing himself or ruining the relationship forever.
Author Kenn Dahll returns to his trademark gritty style−while keeping the romance intact−in the recounting of the two athletic young men’s evolving reactions to their sexuality.

Sweet and Real Story of Self Discovery.
What and who attracts, what and who repels. What to do, what not to do. Was it any easier for you? Sincerity, innocence and willingness to find out. Baseball as a metaphor for advancement of sexual experience. I've long enjoyed innocent lesbian best friend true love stories. So seeing a whole coming of age and coming to terms story from the male perspective was immensely gratifying. This isn't a censored tale, either. It brings the heat. It also brings the humanity. I really like this author.
