Maggie Jameson believes her father mentored her for years to replace
him as the owner of the New York Saints baseball team. Thus when her dad sells her beloved Saints to three
former college jocks (Alex, Lucas and Mal), Maggie feels betrayed; made even
angrier when she learns of the Judas sale at the purchasing contract signing.
Alex Winters and his two friends saw their college baseball careers
go up in smoke when they were injured rescuing people from a fire. Being from Queens, Alex wants to turn around
the fortunes of the Saints; but understands that for the players to accept him
and his partners, they need the support Maggie who has the team’s sympathy. Irate Maggie loathes the upstart and
considers a better offer (at least for her) that would make her the team’s CEO
by using the league’s Executive Committee.
As Alex tries to convince Maggie to join the new management team, the
former college catcher and the previous owner’s daughter fall in love.
The series opener is an exciting baseball romance that cleverly
combines on field action, boardroom action and bedroom (also locker room)
action into a terrific sports tale. Fans
will enjoy the gender war between opponents in love as Melanie Scott provides a
winning game one.
