Then a long-forgotten scrapbook stirs memories of a distant past -- and beckons him and his grown daughter on a reluctant journey to relive his role in history. In 1947, Billy Bryan is playing winterball in Cuba, his future as uncertain as that island nation's.Then one fateful night, Bryan witnesses a young student radical named Fidel unleash an amazing curveball. So begins Billy's tug-of-war with destiny... "Tim Wendel's love and impressive knowledge of baseball suffuses every page of this passionate novel of love, loss, and the real freedom that wisdom and time sometimes bring."--KEN BURNS Coauthor of Baseball: An Illustrated History
