Sometimes life throws you a few curves. For Major Leaguer Fred Duvall, riding the Padres' bench behind a first-round draft pick, Matt Boyle, is a far cry from where he expected to be at age forty-three. With swirling speculation about his inevitable retirement, Fred has no idea that a major break is about to come his way. When a fluke career-ending injury befalls Matt Boyle, Fred is unexpectedly thrust into the role of an everyday starter, as he suddenly finds himself with a final shot at glory in One Last Season. Heading into a road trip ahead of the All Star break, Fred has found a groove and is on a hitting streak. Yet he must confront two undeniable realities. First is the fact that the Patres' temperamental billionaire owner, Wayne Holcomb, is dead set on trading to add a younger catcher to the roster. The second reality Fred must face is that the Royal's pinch hitter who strode into the batter's box in a recent game was not just another opponent but is none other than Cody Duvall, the son Fred abandoned twenty years prior when he opted for the life of a professional baseball player rather than a life as his son's father. One Last Season is a thrilling and emotional tale that celebrates the game of baseball, the special bond shared by teammates and fellow competitors, and the enduring prospect of being able to come through in the clutch and prove oneself when it matters most.
