| Follow the journey of Spitz McKague and the Appalachian All-Stars, a team of ex-major leaguers, misfits, and
novelty baseball players, as they barnstorm from the streets of St. Louis through the dustbowl of the mid-
western states all the way into Canada during the eventful summer of 1934. Along the way, they encounter
flagpole sitters, racist hoteliers, unscrupulous policemen, coal miners, rioters, crooked politicians, mad
shipbuilders, opium den femme fatales, and an author who bears an uncanny resemblance to John Steinbeck.
Trailing not far behind the team bus is a carload of gangsters who mean to punish the All-Stars for reneging on
a promise to throw the World Series. While struggling to complete the tour, Spitz and his teammates are also on
a metaphorical journey home, to a place where peace and self-forgiveness awaits.
