“Rooting for a team doesn’t always mean that you need them to win; sometimes you just want to see them fight, do their best, or even just keep showing up. Sometimes you want to look at a guy and say: Well, he’s fucked, but he’s trying.”

“Please,” Eddie says, a little desperately, like he isn’t quite sure what he’s asking for.
“I have you.” Mark kisses Eddie hard, then, making it filthy enough that Eddie can’t possibly miss his intent. He presses the length of his body flush against Eddie’s.
“Mark, please,” Eddie whines against Mark’s mouth.
“Shh. We have time.”
“I—I know, but I—Mark”

“Last year – and all the years before it, ever since Little League – batting felt almost peaceful. Not effortless – God knows it wasn’t effortless – but natural. But there’s nothing natural or peaceful about hitting a projectile that’s coming for you at nearly a hundred miles an hour. There’s a violence that baseball, at its best, disguises in a way that other sports leave out in the open. Baseball has a way of looking like fun even when it’s grueling. Eddie thinks that he had to get to the root of the ugliness in order to play the game again. He had to see it for what it is. Maybe he had to find something to fight.”

“But—he’s pretty. Pretty enough that you can’t help but notice. Well, Eddie can’t help but notice, and Eddie’s gotten really good at not noticing men, especially in locker rooms. Eddie is leading the National League in not noticing men in locker rooms”

“You have a lot of friends?” Eddie asks, because he could not possibly be more transparent.
Mark sighs, despising himself for going along with this. “No, Eddie. I have five friends, and you’re the only one I’ve . . .”
He gestures at the bed, scowling. “Christ. Are you happy now?”
Yeah,” Eddie says, beaming. “You bet I am. You don’t do this with, uh, non-friends?”
Mark can’t believe he isn’t going to be spared any of his dignity, that he’s cooperating in this dismantling of his defenses.“I haven’t done this with anyone at all in a long time.”
“I have.”
“Do you want a medal?”
Eddie laughs, loud enough that Mark puts a hand over his mouth so nobody in the hallway will hear. “But I’m not doing it with anyone else right now, and I’m not going to.”
Mark realizes that he’s been maneuvered into exclusivity. This is either a level of strategy that he didn’t know Eddie was capable of or a sign of how far gone Mark is”
