Andy Corbyn is one of the Cincinnati Reds' star players. However, especially with their new acquisition this season, he's not the only golden boy on the team. Joey Capone made waves during his college baseball career – and the fact that he's a switch hitter makes him a real asset.
It's also a gift to the media, because Joey is one of the first professional baseball players to be completely out and proud as a gay man – and as 'switch hitter' is sometimes slang for a bisexual person, that's close enough for lazy headline writers.
Andy starts a friendly rivalry with Joey, whose ambition and talent push him to become a better player himself… but not everybody on the team is as welcoming of Joey's presence. Will Joey overcome the homophobic nonsense levied at him by his teammates and the press, or will he quit before he even has the chance to play? And will Andy ever understand that the thrill he feels at the sight of this handsome new player is not because he's handy with a bat?
