"Even the most die-hard baseball fans don't know the true story of William "Blockade Billy" Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name.

Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse."--Dust jacket flap.

I?m not a big fan of baseball, but I did enjoy this quick short story. It did get to detailed and involved with stats and figures for me to understand what they were talking about, but I just kept reading on enjoying the tale. I loved how it was narrated which made me feel as if I was being told a story from my grandfather. I know nothing of the baseball player Billy Blakely, but I was awed by the tale. This is a book you should take to the beach, or while traveling.
