Award-winning sportswriter Dobrow chronicles the lives of six minor leaguers--Brad Baker, Doug Clark, Manny Delcarmen, Randy Ruiz, Matt Torra, and Charlie Zink--all struggling to make their way to "The Show." They are all represented by the same team of agents, Jim and Lisa Masteralexis and their partner Steve McKelvey, whose own aspirations parallel those of the players they represent.
