The Call: A Baseball Novel

Forget making history. Forget people who think women don't belong in baseball. It's the early 1980s, and as one of the first female umpires in the minors, Margie just wants to put on her gear and be part of the game she loves.

When she suspects a big-name slugger of cheating-and wonders why nobody else is calling him on it-she's square on the horns of an ethical dilemma.

If she lets him get away with his dirty tactics, she'll hate herself for it. But blowing the whistle on a popular player could risk her career...and maybe her twin brother's major-league prospects, too. In a baseball establishment looking to show the world that a woman can't hack it on the field, can Margie keep her integrity and her job?

The Call is a B.R.A.G. medallion honoree.
