An eager batboy from the Brooklyn Superbas persuades a talented Negro player to come to a tryout as an American Indian-and loses his love for his team when it’s clear that no one on the team will give Cyclone “Smoky” Joe Williams (later described as the best pitcher in any league) a chance to play. Abner Doubleday makes a very brief appearance at a Union Army camp (even as the author discredits the myth that Doubleday founded modern baseball).

Through the years this family has dodged bullets on a battlefield, pitched perfect games, and dealt with the devastating loss of family and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Each member of this family, from family founder Felix Schneider in the 1800s to Snider Flint in the present day, has a strong tie to the game and to Brooklyn.
