Willys Ballgame |
Willy Mae Beal is a twenty-eight-year-old contemporary woman with the great American game infused in her mind, body, and soul. A combination of luck, serendipity, and raw natural talent leads Willy to become big league baseball’s first female phenom. However, throwing a 90 m.p.h. fastball through the national pastime’s glass ceiling is the climax of the story, but the joy of Willy’s journey is energized by her love for the game. Willy Beal is an attractive and engaging hero, and her story will appeal to readers other than baseball aficionados. The work is fiction, but the story is underpinned by the game’s rich history. As the protagonist of a reality-based fantasy, Willy Beal is an alternative to superheroes, wizards, and vampires for younger readers and she is also a counterpoint to the formerly predominantly white male iconography of sports. |
