Walt The only thing I know about her is she loves football, evidenced by the hoodie she always wears. But despite her bad taste in sports apparel—where are the Laketon Badgers even from?  I’ve been dying to talk to her for two years. She agrees to give me ten minutes to convince her why she should date a baseball player. (I do it in three, naturally.) It starts with spiked seltzers in the park and eventually leads to ice cream. And apparently, vanilla isn’t an acceptable flavor. Seriously, could we be more different?
Lainie Walt St. John is a baseball player. That fact alone is enough for me to write him off. I know absolutely nothing about baseball; I’m a football girl through and through. However, one encounter at a party has me questioning all I think I know. The guy I get to know off the field almost makes me forget he plays the inferior sport. As Walt works his “magic of baseball” on me, I’m left wondering if I can overcome my own emotional demons before it’s a swing and a miss.
