Declan Armitage. The right fielder Espen got in a trade. A powerful hitter, a hard throw, and an unmatched stolen base percentage.

Brock retired from professional football at the end of last season. All he wanted was peace and quiet, a chance to relax. He pushed his body far enough. A break was needed. And he wanted someone to spend his time with. He also had to get up the courage to tell everyone the one secret he kept his entire football career-Brock was gay. Declan had wanted Brock since he was a teenager. Not that it was a possibility with a straight man. Except, Brock wasn't so straight after all. Being true to yourself was a tough road. The fear of rejection was very real. The chance that not everyone would accept the decisions you made. The ball was high in the sky. The line of in or out wasn't far.
