Publisher's Synopsis
The best friendships don't often start with brawls on the baseball field. But when unassuming, under-talented Nick Davis and Ryan Winter each take exception to some hard-nosed baseball, a rivalry born of a mutual understanding of what it means to be a teammate is formed.
Nick, aided by his talented best friend Greg Romano, squares off against Ryan, along with his fiery younger brother, Henry. Aside from their on-the-field issues, each of them contends with the harsh realities that go along with being eighteen years old as they vie to become Iowa State Champions.
As the boys work, fight, and strive for their first chance at success, their mentor, Sheldon Hill, a former World Series hero, struggles to come to terms with the end of his playing career.
Teammates is a novel about baseball, friendship, growing up, and learning what it takes to become a good teammate and a good man.
