      abstract = {"When Rodney Mason, an ex-con drug dealer from Newark's  rough South Ward, was shot and paralyzed, he vowed to turn  his life around. A former high-school pitching ace with a  93 mph fastball, Mason decided to form a Little League team  to help boys avoid the street life that had claimed his  youth and mobility. Predictably, the players struggle--they  endure poverty, unstable family lives with few positive  male role models, failing schools, and dangerous  neighborhoods--but through the fists and tears, lopsided  losses, and rare victories, this bunch of misfits becomes a  team, and in doing so gives the community something to root  for"--Amazon.com.},
