The company I worked for had been bought by who I later found out was my best friend's ex. That was one crazy story. He ended up being a retired Pittsburgh Pirate. I was just as shocked when I found out. He'd gotten three of his ball playing friends to agree to do some promotion for the company for practically nothing. I was going to be the one to get them everything they needed while they were there. Out of the three of them, I was sure there would be at least one sexy man that would have the need to release some stress, and I was all for helping him. You see, I didn't do love or ...

When I told my parents during my senior year that I wasn't going to college, they lost their minds. There was only one person that stood beside me, and that was my sister Sammie. I'd been working with computers since I was ten. Everyone laughed and joked about how much time I spent in my room. They had no idea that I'd been working on something great. Sammie listened when I told her I already knew more than I'd learn in college. She believed me when I told her what I was working on would make a difference, and she defended me every step of the way. I had big dreams, and nothing was going to...

Bases are loaded, and these guys are ready to score. When my friend Keri suggested that I move to Hopeton after a bad breakup, I thought she was crazy. I’d heard about the town’s reputation for welcoming people who were in relationships with more than one person. I had enough trouble holding onto one man, let alone two of them! But then Keri finds happiness with two wonderful guys of her own and I can’t help but wonder if there’s something to this unconventional town. When I’m randomly offered a job in the front office of Hopeton’s new minor league baseball team, the Cruisers, I...

My life was perfect. I had a husband that loved me and three amazing children. We had two homes, a gorgeous lakehouse up north, and a beautiful, two-story home, in a wealthy neighborhood, closer to the company my husband owned. I spent my summers up north with the kids and our nanny, while my husband was only able to join us on the weekends. When the weather would start to cool, he'd come up, and we'd drive home together for the winter. I had the best of both worlds, or at least I thought I did. That winter was different. The weather cooled, but he wasn't able to come, and I didn't want to ...

I was getting ready to turn eighteen and was looking forward to starting my senior year of high school. They say senior year is the best, but I wasn't so sure. Lance Smith, a retired Pittsburgh Pirate, was the most overprotective man I'd ever met. He was also my dad. I was Sammie, his little tomboy baseball player. That was the only way he'd ever see me. My bedroom walls were still covered with scenes he'd painted before I was even born. A picture of him still hung on my wall. The words date, boyfriend, and college all sent him into a crazy speech about his little girl not growing up. He ...

It had been ten long years since Scott Reid, the man I thought would always protect and love me, had torn my heart apart. I'd watched from the sidelines during those years as he played ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. When he came home, I applied for jobs in every state but Michigan. I needed to get away from everything that had to do with him. When I was offered a job at a sports equipment company in Pennsylvania, I jumped at it. He wasn't there anymore. I knew it was a good place to go. Working with numbers was my thing. I loved it. Working with anything sports related and numbers was ...

Alanis My heart belongs in the quaint town of Everville, North Carolina, where charm and chaos collide.

Before Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, Negro Leagues Baseball was the only game in town for black athletes. And those leagues owed their existence and success to savvy businesspeople like Effa Manley, the black female co-owner of the Newark Eagles. Effa was the team's business manager, leading her team to win the Negro World Series in 1946. But this victory was bittersweet: Integration was on its way, and the demise of the Negro Leagues would soon follow.

Making My Pitch tells the story of Ila Jane Borders, who, despite formidable obstacles, became a Little League prodigy, MVP of her otherwise all-male middle school and high school teams, the first woman awarded a baseball scholarship, and the first to pitch and win a complete men’s collegiate game.

Documenting multiple challenges at every turn - as a target for racism from society at large and sexism both inside and outside of the Negro League - this is the unique story of the first woman to play professional baseball on a men's team, breaking barriers in sports while believing, "There's got to be a first in everything. Maybe it will be me." The text explains that as players began to leave the Negro League for major league teams, Toni Stone seized her only opportunity to play professional ball and replaced Henry Aaron on the Negro League's top team.

Mamie "Peanut" Johnson had one dream: to play professional baseball. She was a talented player, but she wasn't welcome in the segregated All-American Girls Pro Baseball League due to the color of her skin. However, a greater opportunity came her way in 1953 when Johnson signed to play ball for the Negro Leagues' Indianapolis Clowns, becoming the first female pitcher to play on a men's professional team. During the three years she pitched for the Clowns, her record was an impressive 33-8. But more importantly, she broke ground for other female athletes and for women everywhere.

Aaron James is #1 on my list…my hate list. And he’s determined to get himself off that list and into my bed. He’s an all-star baseball player and his Instagram profile shows just how popular he is with the ladies. I can’t say I blame them, he’s perfection on the outside. But on the inside - cocky, playboy, egotistical…the list goes on. Hate him. I moved back to my hometown after my mom died to live my dream of opening my bakery, and now I can’t seem to keep him away. He’s everywhere. It doesn’t help that he’s my nephew’s little league coach, my brother’s best friend,...

There’s no crying in baseball. But there is murder. And when the World Series is fought between two teams both from New York City, millions of dollars are bet. And lives are at risk.

How could my enemy, the one who'd tortured me for years, end up being the very same woman that felt so good beneath me? I swore it wasn't going to make a difference. I was going to get the job I'd worked so hard for, and I was going to take her down in the process. There was only one problem. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get her cocky, beautiful mouth out of my mind. I couldn't help seeing her sexy body every time I closed my eyes. I needed to get my head in the game. It was either her or me. It couldn't be both of us. Then it happened, we were brought together again. Those same ...
