Atlanta Braves minor league pitcher, Brett Davies, has much to contemplate at the young age of 25. Coming back from a torn rotator cuff that slows his dream of major league stardom, he has completed his first post-injury season with their farm team in Greenville, South Carolina. But his success as their top relief pitcher does not lead to a call up to Atlanta at the end of the Greenville season. Did the Braves executives think his repaired shoulder wasn't good enough for major league competition? He needed answers and would go to Atlanta to meet with their general manager to find them. But Brett has more on his mind than baseball. Raised by a single mom, he had never been allowed to meet his father. Brett never knew why. His mother just told him, "It's not possible." And at age 25, Brett wonders if he will ever find the right girl to spend the rest of his life with. No current girlfriend, with none on the horizon, had both Brett (and his mother) concerned. But things were about to rapidly change. The following season Brett finds himself assigned to the Braves minor league team in Rome, Georgia as a player coach. A series of random events brings new people and new challenges into Brett's life. Would they also lead him to the answers he needed to find his way home?

The Legend of the CapBy: Burt Firtel The Legend of the Cap contains a genesis of events that began more than 160 years ago. It connects professional golfers, amateur golfers, a golf course designer, and the first lady developer of golf courses. The magic of The Legend of the Cap tells the tale of a handful of Scottish golfers and a dozen golf courses, as it grows to millions of golfers at thousands of courses worldwide. The confluence of real people and events are pieces of a puzzle that couldn't have occurred naturally. The story is that a magical cap caused it to happen. About the AuthorAt eighty-two years old, this is Burt Firtel's first tale. His memory of telephone numbers and street addresses goes back to childhood. His memory of certain dates led to this story. One-hundred years separates this fantasy's connection of events. What makes this story special to him is about his five grandkids, Noah, Zach, JD, Lily and Max. Burt hopes that long after he's gone, his grandkids will reminisce, "Can you believe Gramps wrote a book?"

The Fireballer is a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America's favorite pastime."--
