Abstract:
"You never know what's going to save you." After years of dingy nightclubs and drug addiction, John Albert and his hard-luck friends certainly never expected their salvation to arrive in the form of a game. This chronicle of recovery and redemption documents the transformation of a group of rock musicians, struggling screenwriters, and wannabe actors into a team. For over a decade, the narcotics, gambling, whores, and aimless rebellion seemed to be enough. But as they stumbled into their thirties, the pursuit of self-destruction had simply become exhausting to these denizens of the L.A. counterculture. The idea of fielding a baseball team to compete in an amateur league seemed merely the latest in a string of half-hearted stabs at restoring order to their ragged lives. But this escapade was different. When these men donned their team uniforms, the old obsessions started to fade and something incredible began to happen.--From publisher description.
