Author Rick Vaughn uncovers the stories that keep Tampa's passion for the National Pastime burning. Since 1913, Tampa has provided the background for some of the Major League Baseball's most iconic spring moments led, of course, by the longest home run of Babe Ruth's career. Tampa was the scene of the Grapefruit League's first no-hitter and the only spring time All-star Game. It was the first gathering place of the Big Red Machine and the Core Four. Well over 125 Hall of Famers honed their craft among the city's three major league ballparks: Plant Field, Al Lopez Field and Steinbrenner Field. All of it resulted from a diverse city's love of the game that began with baseball-crazed cigar factory workers before the turn of the 20th century.

The Sloan's are an average middle-class American family who just moved to Monterey, California from Potomac, Maryland. Although they may look like the perfect family neighbors see every day in their lives, the Sloan's are also a family with a secret: they are frequently on the run from the law. That's because Eric Sloan, the patriarch of the family, was accused for a murder that he didn't commit. But there is also another reason for trying to keep his family together: they are also hunted by the real killer, who had made good on targeting his family, especially his children. These two reasons alone are enough for Eric to seek out the evidence that will clear him and end the nightmare that put him and his family in hiding from the justice system, which seeks to capture him and the person who framed him.
