Read Switch Pitchers Storyline:

The 1952 Lake Charles Lunkers are entrenched in fourth place in the Gulf Coast League when left- and right-handed Cuban pitchers—twins smuggled to Key West by Ernest Hemingway—arrive in May.  Trying to arbitrate between the twins, who have a Major-League sibling rivalry, is Bobby, a quiet southpaw with a tragic past. In the last game of the season, his arm in excruciating pain, Bobby sees something in the grandstands that alters the course of the game, the season, and his life.    From the comic opening to Bobby’s shocking resolution to his problems,  readers will be laughing and crying at this realistic portrayal of racial tension and healing during the Jackie Robinson era in baseball.
