What a delightful story! Set in Georgia in the early 1900's, it begins like a nonfiction story of the beginning of professional baseball with 18 year-old Ben Phelps getting cut from the team along with "old-timer" Foster Lanier who is 29 and washed-up. On the train ride home they meet Lottie, who is running away from home with a traveling salesman.
