BASEBALL, QUEER HISTORY, AND GAY LOVE!! What more could you want? This was a lovely historical romance set in 1960s NYC. Cat Sebastian somehow manages to address and include the time period's intense institutional homophobia but keep the book soothing and sweet. I loved the two surprising older straight men characters in here who become unlikely lovable allies. Eddie and Mark are wonderfully drawn, complex people. 

I am BEGGING Cat Sebastian to give this kind of care and attention to some mid-century queer women. Cat, the professional women's baseball league (1943-1954) is right there! 

Beautifully performed by Joel Leslie in audiobook
