With help from his next-door neighbor, a career minor-league catcher, Connor proceeds from an being all-state high school player to a fine college pitcher who leads his team to its first College World Series in Omaha. When his career moves to the professional ranks, he makes as much impact with his legal ideas as with his strong right arm as he challenges the age-old system that makes players the exclusive property of the owners. He plays a tough game on and off the field, lucky on the pitching mound, and lucky in love. From his first love, Lucy, to Aileen, Suzanne, Angela and back, Connor Scanlon is a charmer. A reliable teammate and friendly companion, he faces life's crises with equanimity. As he moves from the baseball to the legal world, his skills help him contribute to major changes in the way the game is played.
