Description

Hometown Hero is the third in a series of novels telling the story of Mike "Sparky" Rosen, the brash young second baseman who jumped directly from Class AA to Big League stardom with his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates in the first book of the series, Phenom. Rosen's second season, chronicled in Warning Track Power, was also outstanding. But the next two years fell far short of expectations, and now Rosen and his teammates know that if they don't soon produce, they will probably be playing somewhere else next year. Can Rosen return to the form that made him a phenom and lead the Pirates deep into the post-season? Or will this be yet another disappointing season for Rosen and his friends? Hometown Hero once again allows us to take a peek at Rosen's daily blog, and to share with him all of the exciting baseball action, as well as the personal triumphs and disasters that are a part of his everyday life, as this make-or-break season progresses.
