The seventh game of the World Series is about to be played, and more
than the world championship is at stake. A man's destiny is on the line.
Johnny Longboat, one of baseball's greatest pitchers, is taking the
mound for the New York Mohawks in what may be his final game. With
millions of eyes upon him, only he is aware of the conflicts tormenting
him. At 41, Johnny is a man trying to make sense of his past while
fearing what the future could bring when his playing career ends.
As the deciding seventh game of a bitterly fought World Series
suspensefully moves, inning by inning, toward its dramatic climax, and
before the seventh game is over, Johnny Longboat is ready to make some
hard choices. He's ready to find out just how much strength is left in
his arm--and in his soul.
