As our story opens, Frank casts his first line into the stream. The water is lively with baseball players of all types, even pitchers! But that’s not what he’s after. Frank is hoping to snag the elusive shortstop. A difficult catch. Shortstops are known for their agility and cunning. For bait, Frank is offering only a minor league contract with no benefits. The tension builds as he casts again and again but the shortstop stays near the distant shoreline, weaving through the shadows, watching for a line drive or high fly sign to seal his fate.

Thanks. 😉
Field and Stream . . . just add beer.

You don’t want to read a book about a person who fishes for major league shortstops?
Didn’t you read the Book blurb?! Sirona is a fabulous author. It tingles it sounds so good! I can’t wait to…
… wait. Who the heck is Mike?
