These stories are characterized by the same dramatic elements that draw people to the sport itself?the mythologizing of players, the obsessions and romance of the game, the bonds between players and fans, parents and children. From a key play, amissed catch, a chance lost, these are tales of characters facing high stakes and calls to action, metaphorically and literally, in the bottom of the ninth.
