Full Count

Win Neagle's FULL COUNT introduces the nation to professional baseball player Billy Overby, a hitter of the magnitude not seen since Ted Williams. In this topsy-turvy black comedy, Overby begins to question the nature of love and his own capacity for intimacy after he falls in love with baseball fan Cameron. Unfortunately Cameron is involved in a complicated relationship with shot-gun toting Amanda. Neither Billy, Cameron, nor Amanda could have prepared themselves for the public frenzy surrounding superstar athletes and their private, off-field exploits. The world of American baseball is thrown a curve as the three of them learn the sacrifices-and the joys-inherent in every kind of love. Gripping and ironic, FULL COUNT is sure to leave you cheering for the home team.
