Blurb: 
The Dodgers are in the midst of a pennant race and they are coming from far behind. This takes a toll on the Dodgers, who trailing far behind in the midst of a pennant race. They are playing hard and well, but behind the scenes, one team official is promoting ill-will and dissention for his own purposes. This leads to great difficulty for player/manager Spike Russell who must not only manage his teammates but also play his own position. Added to the mix is a rookie player whose lack of maturity becomes a liability for the team. As the rookie player struggles to meet his potential as a player, Spike struggles to meet his potential as a manager.

The games themselves are described in great detail, and the characters are well drawn.
