...just out of high school and has accepted the uninteresting job of selling cars for his father. Though cool and collected on the outside, his façade hides insecurities regarding both girls and his lackluster future. His best friend from high school, Clint (Michael T. O’Neill ’03), is now a college freshman, a little unworldly but still proud to be seeking a higher education.

Pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre, diagnosed with blood cancer, underwent a bone-marrow transplant. Catcher Posada has carried on while his infant son has endured three cranial surgeries...
