The King's Game

(Book endorsed by current and former Major League Baseball players!) The crowd of more than 45,000 rises as one, chanting his name. Veteran pitcher Cody King takes the mound for Game Seven of the World Series, unaware these nine innings will mark the end of his troubled existence on the diamond. With each pressure-packed pitch, King confronts a past ? from being abandoned by his teenage mother to keeping his wife's love from fading away ? filled with tragedy and talent. And before he flings his final fastball through the crisp autumn air, King, a fatherless son who grew up to become one of the game's great pitchers, will have to face the one true father he's never known.
