While making his way up through the minors, his dream rapidly becomes tarnished as he begins to see many shocking things happening around him that utterly destroy the image that he has always had from childhood of pro baseball and everything that he thought it stood for. Brandon is caught up in a whirlwind of corruption, turmoil, and threats. He is torn between making a decision to forget what he knows, keep quiet, and continue to advance in his career or to speak up for the things he believes to be right and to protest against the things that he knows in his heart are wrong. He knows that if he makes the latter decision, he is jeopardizing his career and his future and will most likely be sentencing himself to being banned and blackballed from the one thing he loves most in life. Brandon decides to do what is right. Brandon’s actions are driven by his concern for the integrity of the game, his fellow baseball players, the baseball fans, and especially our future generation, our children.
