Description

The spring of ’53 started out like any other for sports columnist Jack Hall, as he and the rest of his small southern town eagerly awaited the magical first pitch that would open the Bobcat’s season. But when ticket sales wane with the distractions of air conditioning and TV, the Bobcats face an early end not only to the season but to their careers. The team needs a white knight to save them and ironically, that white knight seems to be a 17 year old "colored kid", Percy Jackson. Not everyone can wrap their heads around an integrated baseball field. Hearts, minds, faith and tradition will be tested as will friendships and marriages when this sleepy southern town comes to grips with itself amid early years of the Civil Rights Movement.
