The spring of 1953 started out like any other for sportswriter Jack Hall. He and the rest of the small Southern town of Whitney eagerly awaited the magical first pitch that would open the Bobcat's season. But air-conditioning now offers a new incentive to spend summer nights at home. And I Love Lucy has captured America's imagination. The Bobcats are not only losing money, they may lost their careers as well. β¨In a crunch to win more fans, the Bobcats sign seventeen-year-old Percy Jackson--a black player who's bound to draw a whole new crowd. Percy is just what the team needs...or is he?β¨As the town of Whitney must come to grips with integration amid the early years of the Civil Rights Movement, hearts, minds, faith, and tradition will be tested.
