From the Back Cover:
Veteran pitcher Cody King takes the mound for Game Seven of the World Series unaware it will mark the final nine innings of his troubled existence. With each pitch, King confronts a past - from being abandoned by his teenage mother to fighting to keep his wife's love from fading away - filled with tragedy and talent. And as he carries the hopes of a desperate, dying city and its beloved baseball team - the Warriors - on his back, the opposing St. Louis Cardinals are poised to wash away one of the most amazing turnarounds in Major League Baseball history. Yet Cody King’s final confrontation comes not against a batter, but instead the one thing he fears most - his own mortality.
