For more than five decades, pioneering researcher Dorothy Seymour Mills has studied and written about baseball’s past. With this groundbreaking book, she turns her attention to the historians, stat hounds, and many thousands of not-so-casual fans whose fascination with the game and its history, like her own, defies easy explanation. As Mills demonstrates, baseball elicits a passion—and inspires a slightly off-kilter, obsessive behavior—that is only slightly less interesting than the people who indulge it.

A major league players’ strike may be one man’s chance to shine: “Baker knows his baseball . . . the feel of the ball, what makes a team tick . . . a page turner” (John Keeble, author of Yellowfish) Three years after earning a full-ride baseball scholarship to Ohio State, “Golden” Jake Standen has burned out. Working as a furniture mover and bouncing between meaningless relationships, he’s convinced that his baseball dreams are over. But after the 1994 Major League Baseball strike prematurely ends the season, the playoffs, and even the World Series, Jake is about to get his lucky break. Strike be damned, the owners will have a team for the ’95 season, even if they have to open tryouts and spring training to anyone who can hit or throw the ball. After scoring contracts for the Toronto Blue Jays, Jake, his best friend, Brian Sloan, and an unlikely cast of new teammates have just six weeks to learn how to play like never before amid a slowly building crescendo of public curiosity, media scrutiny, and a labor dispute that could put them on the field come Opening Day—or dash their dreams at any minute. Based on the true stories of the 1994–95 replacement players, Chasing the Big Leagues is an exciting novel about shared dreams and competing interests, best friends and second chances, growing up and finding love.

"Whenever I hear someone mention the year 1996, I immediately think of that magical baseball season in which a special group of young men won forty-three consecutive baseball games. But it was so much more than just those forty-three games. It was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to both the game they loved and the teammates they competed with. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of their journey." -Tim Dowdy, Former New Hope Baseball Coach "The spring of '96 was a magical time that I will never forget. It was a three-month period in which the stars aligned and took us on an unforgettable ride." -Carey Edwards, Former New Hope Baseball player "I went to my knees near the third base line as the ball began to get closer and closer to the ground. As a sixteen-year-old, all I could think about was how I had just let my team down. My name was going to be in the record books, the only pitcher with an L next to his name. Suddenly, my feet went numb as I stood up in disbelief. I saw what had just happened but didn't believe it. I still have never seen another catch like that!" -Scott Kappler, Former New Hope Baseball Player

On one mound, there is Justin Olson, a product of Big Ten baseball and an adademic star. Olson's talent exists both on the off the field as an accomplished student whose fastball tops out at 94 miles an hour. On the other mound, there is Francisco Liriano. Taken from the sandlot ball fields of the Dominican Republic, he possesses one of the most threatening arms in the minors. Widely considered to be the best pitcher outside of the big leagues, Liriano has an arsenal of pitches that humbles and awes the hitters he faces.

In Chasing Moonlight, Brett Friedlander and Robert Reising prove that truth is more interesting than fiction. The real-life Moonlight Graham didn't play just a half-inning for John McGraw's New York Giants, as depicted in Field of Dreams. Neither did he retire from baseball after his lone major league appearance. Rather, he became a fan favorite during a noteworthy professional career, all the while juggling baseball with medical residencies.
