The Gift - by Bob Moseley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A struggling minor league baseball pitcher is suddenly unhittable. But why? Tommy Browning is hopelessly trapped in his baseball dream. Wallowing in Single A with the Macon Peaches, he doesn't know if he'll ever make The Show--the major leagues--or if his dream of a professional career is even worth pursuing. But fate steps in and the 21-year-old pitcher is launched on a roller-coaster ride that he can't control, much less understand. He has "The Gift," but can he keep it?
