    "description": "An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season\u2014set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good.\n\nThe 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie O\u2019Leary\u2019s life. He can\u2019t manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, he\u2019s living out of a suitcase, and he\u2019s homesick. When the team\u2019s owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, he\u2019s ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he\u2019s already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree.\n\nMark Bailey is not a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days he\u2019s barely even managing to do that much. He\u2019s had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he\u2019d never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York\u2019s obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.\n\nIsolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction. But Mark has vowed that he\u2019ll never be someone\u2019s secret ever again, and Eddie can\u2019t be out as a professional athlete. It\u2019s just them against the world, and they\u2019ll both have to decide if that\u2019s enough.",
