A native of Upstate New York, M. Thomas Apple gave up his high school dreams of becoming the next Carl Sagan and instead studied languages and literature at Bard College and creative writing at the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Somehow thereafter he managed to get to hired to teach intercultural communication at a university in Kyoto, Japan. He lives in a quasi-traditional Japanese house co-designed with his wife and partially decorated by his two daughters, nestled in the foothills of the mountains and surrounded by lots of cedar and cicada. He occasionally dreams of the (inside the park) homerun he hit in high school and wonders how that would feel on Mars.
"You know, all those statistics, all those numbers, they've all been done before. You're not going to make it into the Hall of Fame or whatever. All you can do is make more numbers, right?"
Journeyman relief pitcher Jonathan "Ditch" Klein was all set to be a replacement player during the 1995 baseball strike...until the strike ended. Offered a contract in the minor leagues, on the same Upstate ballpark he once found success in high school, Ditch has one last chance to prove his worth. But to whom?
A manager with an axe to grind, a father second-guessing his pitching decisions, a local sportswriter hailing him as a hometown hero, a decade older than his teammates and trying to resurrect an injury-ridden career...Ditch thinks he may have a possible back-up plan: become a sportswriter himself. The only question is, is he a pitcher who aspires to be a writer? Or it is the other way around?
