Книга: Stranger in the Outfield

Walt Burke, the University of Arkansas most recent phenom, was on his way to signing with the Colorado Rockies. Burke had just broken the university s standing batting records, all of them. But one night, in his girlfriend Peggy Jean s bedroom, his future took a sharp turn. His life changed in one instant, smashing his dreams and making him a fugitive. On the run, Walt changes his identity. He stays in Mexico for eight months until his need to play baseball sends him back to the U.S. Walt's amazing skills on the diamond land him in the independent leagues, far from any news media radars. But with the FBI and one curious journalist on his tail, the greatest player in the league, and possibly the country, will not remain hidden for long.
