Exclusively written by Thomas Babe for NPR's "Earplay" radio series, this drama focuses on the relationships and tensions that develop within a baseball team in the midst of a pennant race. Boots, the club's manager, has a confrontational attitude that generates a great deal of hostility but also inspires his players to win. Other characters include Willy, the team's leading hitter, and Chance, the aging star pitcher with a few great games left in him.
