Synopsis

Award-winning journalist and ESPN personality Mike Lupica crafts a moving novel about baseball, sacrifice, and father/son relationships. Hutch has always played shortstop. His idol Derek Jeter plays the position, and more importantly, so did his father. But when a better shortstop joins the team, Hutch must move to second base. With his father's shadow looming and the championship on the line, Hutch will need to make the adjustment quickly. "Lupica offers another heartwarming, action-packed, sports-savvy novel." -School Library Journal
