"This book will touch the veins of your heart." -Bengie Molina, World Series Champion and author of New York Times Bestseller Molina In the mid-1990s, a band of baseball-loving boys from the small town of Chester, Illinois, on the banks of the Mississippi River, pursue their dreams of state and national championships.
