Today Casey Neal and his buddy Don-o are fresh-faced college graduates unencumbered by commitments like summer jobs or girl friends. On a lark, they tour every big-league park in the PEBA and find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue and scandal that once again threatens the very heart of professional baseball. Against all this Casey is trying to figure out who he's going to be in this world. And Don-o? Well, Don-o is something different all together now, isn't he?
