He always gets what he wants, and the football god next door wants me...I had it all. The Super Bowl rings. The hot shot TV gig. Then I got fired. Now I’m living in middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares. Did I mention that she and her son are my new neighbors? If you talk to the locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football. But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac.

Pro football might see me as their favorite underdog, but Madison Westfield would rather see me six feet under. My ex-best friend’s little sister has every reason to hate me. I took her boyfriend’s spot on this team, her brother might lose his too, and our short-lived engagement years ago is part of the reason our families are locked in a grudge match that has the whole league on edge.

For a century or more, Abner Doubleday was credited with inventing the modern game of baseball in Cooperstown in 1839. His name is on historical markers, playing fields, and for a time, even a professional baseball team. The Hall of Fame opened in Cooperstown on the hundredth anniversary of his invention. More recently, however, baseball historians have discounted Doubleday's role altogether. What if the historians are right? And wrong? And at the same time? What if we have only begun to grasp the true dimensions of the mystery surrounding Abner Doubleday and the origins of baseball?

Just as baseball had its larger than life personalities—Mathewson, Cobb, Wagner, Ruth—so, too, did the larger world. Roosevelt. Ford. The Wright Brothers. Einstein. But one man of an earlier day stood out well into this new era. That man was a diehard baseball fan—Thomas Edison. Fresh from his victory in The Federal Case, young attorney Andy Dennum and his cartographer girlfriend, Keiley Barefoot, use Edison’s love of baseball to uncover the secrets hidden in the estate of the inventor’s last surviving offspring, “Uncle Frank” Culbertson. You won’t believe what they find.

Over its hundred and fifty year history, professional baseball has experienced its share of scandals and embarrassments -- sometimes involving players, sometimes teams, sometimes team owners, sometimes the leadership of the game itself, and sometimes even the fans. There's been gambling. There's been cheating. There's been drug abuse. There's been outrageous rhetoric. There's been drunken rioting. There's been wife-swapping. There's been All-Star voting abuse. There's been overt racism, collusion, litigation, court challenges, strikes and lockouts.

Young night-schooled lawyer Andy Dennum has landed a position with a prestigious law firm, only to find himself tasked with mucking out the firm's archive of presumably dead files. There he stumbles across an old, and perhaps still viable, file containing a single document that might suggest otherwise.

And when Johnny is the apparent cause of the latest accident, he decides the time has come to sort things out.

Seventeen-year-old John Masterson has no idea what he wants. It’s his last summer on the small island where he has grown up and he should be enjoying the weeks until his exam results come through.

Il ragioniere Walter Vismara ha un problema. Il suo nuovo datore di lavoro, il Tosetto, sarà di certo una brava persona, però ha una mania, quella per il "folber", e obbliga i suoi impiegati a strazianti allenamenti, ogni giovedì, in vista della partita dell'anno, la grande sfida scapoli-ammogliati del 1° maggio. Purtroppo a Vismara del calcio non importa nulla, ma è stato subito nominato portiere titolare della squadra. I colleghi già lo chiamano "il Zamora", come il famoso portiere del Real Madrid, anche se le sue doti atletiche e agonistiche sono nulle.
