But when he returns home, he finds a foster kid named Sturgis sprawled out on his couch.

As if this isnt weird enough, just a few days after Sturgiss arrival, the sun comes out.

No one can explain why the rain has finally stopped, but as far as Roys concerned, its time to play some baseball.

Its time to get a Moundville team together and finish what was started 22 years ago.

Its time for a rematch.From the Hardcover edition.
