When Al sold his company at age 39, it didn't take long to realize that work had been his life with little time for a partner or for attending Tiger games with his father, a season-ticket holder for all of his life. Thus began a summer of traveling across the country to see Tiger games, making up for some lost time. What Al couldn't have anticipated is that he would keep seeing the same woman at some of these games as she also traveled to see the new young star pitcher. Who was this woman, why was she following him around like a groupie – and when he met her, why did he find her so interesting and attractive? But when the traveling plans were interrupted by his father's failing health and possible passing, the path Al was on seemed to change.
This is a story about family and friendship, and life taking new and unexpected directions, set in the backdrop of Detroit Tigers baseball as people in Al's life help him get through a difficult time and provide the magic that makes life possible.
