The Legendary Barons

Tommy Folgett’s life is littered with disappointments: a broken marriage, alcoholism, and squandered artistic talent. But he did create one hell of a softball team. Under Tommy’s tutelage, this hodge-podge of characters has lived out ten years of victories and defeats, joys and squabbles, on Friday nights at the Double River softball complex. They have, in fact, become a family.

When a broken relationship sends Tommy back to the bottle, the self-abuse spills over to his housemate and shortstop, Honus. Tommy’s envy of Honus’s writing career, and the campaign of subtle sabotage that follows, threatens to destroy his one great achievement: the legendary Barons.
