This is a very interesting and fun book. Here's a couple of items: in 1921 all 8 "Black" Sox players were found innocent in a court of law. Two days later Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned all 8 of them for life. In 1931 Jackie Mitchell signed a professional baseball contract with the Class AA Chattanooga Lookouts. In an exhibition game against the Yankees she struck out Ruth and Gehrig. Commissioner Landis voided her contract the very next day, saying, "Baseball is too strenuous for a woman." I'm not saying Landis was the worst Commissioner in baseball . . . well, yes I am.

Hello! I just finished reading your story and wow, it was really amazing. The world you built is so cinematic, I could practically see the visuals in my mind.
I’m a professional artist/illustrator, and I take commissions on comics, webtoons, manga and manhwa. I’d love the chance to bring some of those scenes to life visually. If it’s something you’d like to explore, I’d be excited to discuss it with you. No pressure at all, but I just think it could be amazing.
Feel free to add me on Discord (eve_verse), if you’d like to discuss more or take a look at my work.
Regards,
Evelyn
