A Season in Hell
()
About this ebook
Just one season can change everything. When Dillon Peterson is honored for his baseball career, he must face a ghost that has long haunted him. He is transported back through his memories to a single season in the nineties that broke his heart.
That was the season he met Keisha Green, the first and only woman to play baseball in the minor leagues. He sees what she goes through, what she must endure just to play the game both of them love, and this struggle leads to their friendship. As matters escalate, Dillon finds himself regretting his role in it all, as well as his career in baseball.

––––––––
Twenty years after the season that almost ended his career far too soon, Dillon Peterson stood before a crowd, still feeling as woozy and sick as he did that first at-bat. Only this time, being here in front of all these fans, troubled him. He had no business here on this stage, and knowing that made his legs weaken as he neared the podium. When he got there, he clung to the mahogany dais as if it were all that held him up, the weight of this moment as heavy as any in his life.
A sea of red and gray clothed fans unfolded down the green rolling lawn before him, many sitting in chairs the facility staff had provided. Others filled in the gaps between trees and vending trucks, anywhere standing room could be found. He barely heard their clapping, all the cheering, the whistles. Much like at the stadium, he blocked it out, trying to focus on the task at hand, though he still hadn’t figured that part out yet. Not fully anyway. He knew what he wanted to say but wasn’t sure how he was going to get there.
When he looked up from the podium, for a brief second he was transported back in time. To those childhood sandlot games, when he swung a bat that was way too big for him. How they used to argue over balls and strikes, whether a tag had been applied in time. Legging out a double and just making it to the bag. Diving for a liner and coming up with grass stains on his jeans; his mom always hated that. Watching a game with his father on their black and white TV, and trying to understand the nuances of the game. Then, to the near past, to the stadium, positioned behind home plate. Armored in his gear and waiting for the ball, ready to make a tag. All of it—the stadium, the cheers, the memories—dissipated as a single voice resonated in his head, one that had haunted him since the day he met Keisha Green.
You think you’re one of us, but you ain’t. You hear me? You ain’t no Ghost.
When Dizzy MacLean said those words, he had sucked all the joy
