A Field of Dreams meets Bull Durham in this fantastical baseball novel by Hugo Award winner Will McIntosh!

Very strange things are happening to the Manhattan Knights, and Jason Cutty, a pitcher on the team, appears to be responsible.

One player, for example, cries every time he sets foot on the field. Another can't reach base no matter how hard he hits the ball. The infield floods on sunny days. Cutty himself has become hopelessly wild. He can't throw strikes, at all, and is in danger of being released by the team.

How is Cutty responsible for all of this weirdness? That depends on who you ask. Cutty believes there's a rational explanation, while his grandfather and the record store-owning Asian-American Buddhist he's in love with believe he has offended the game of baseball itself.

What did Cutty do to potentially offend the game of baseball itself? The answer involves the first openly-gay player in major league history, a beanball, the top of the Statue of Liberty, and a long-dead baseball legend.
