    About this ebook

    Baseball. America's game. But to some it's more than a game, it's life itself. "The Prospect" is the story of a college baseball pitcher about to turn pro when he drives under the influence, injures himself, his business major girlfriend, an elderly couple and loses the major league baseball contract he'd just signed with the Minnesota Twins. His injured and angry girlfriend leaves him and the father that sacrificed everything to give his talented son a chance to succeed disowns him and the Prospect, who no longers appears to have any prospects, runs away from his failures until he accidentally stumbles into a retired military officer/cattle rancher that not only seems to have all life's answers at his fingertips, he also knows how to coax a young man back into believing in himself.

     

    Mindy, the Prospect's former girlfriend, a summa cum laude marketing graduate now burdened with a child she hadn't expected, finds herself on the "mommy" track instead of the corporate fast-track she had imagined for herself; a situation she blames on her vanished boyfriend. And Bobby Green, the Prospect's best friend and college catcher, drafted in the later rounds with little chance of success, plods his way through the minor leagues, all the while wondering what happened to his former talented teammate and if he will ever see him again.

     

    The Minnesota Twins, in the meantime, have problems of their own; their team isn't winning any games, attendance is down, revenue is down and a plot is being hatched to "contract" the ball club right out of existence. The Twin's eccentric general manager gets wind of the scheme and enlists the aid of a washed-up sports reporter and a twice-divorced team manager who knows players better than women in a counter-plot to save the Twins. By a fluke of fate, the Prospect, Mindy and Bobby Greene are brought back together by the Twins and the question becomes can this mixed bag of talented personalities work together long enough to save the Twins as well as themselves.
