Can a young baseball star maintain his love of the game after the loss of his brother? Find out in this start to the Home Team series about a small town with high hopes, from New York Times bestselling creator and sportswriting legend Mike Lupica.

Jack Callahan is the star of his baseball team and seventh grade is supposed to be his year. Undefeated season. Records shattered. Little League World Series. The works. That is, until he up and quits.

Jack’s best friend Gus can’t understand how Jack could leave a game that means more to them than anything else. But Jack is done. It’s a year of change. Jack’s brother has gave up the ghost, and though his friends and family and the whole town of Walton thinks baseball is just the thing he needs to move on, Jack feels it’s anything but.

Time spent with these new friends unlocks something within Jack, and with their help and the give a boost to of his family and his old friends, Jack discovers every now and then it’s more than just the love of the game that keeps us moving forward—and he might just be capable to find his as far back as The Only Game, in the end.
