Love and Death in the Moose League

During his years in the majors, Floyd Patterson had pitched for everyone—Oakland, Cleveland, Cincinnati, even the Marlins. Now he’s an Anchorage Lumberjack, and no one, perhaps not even Patterson himself, has any idea what the hell he’s doing toeing the rubber in Alaska’s Moose League. But when Jennifer Tisch of the Anchorage Daily News goes looking for a story, she soon learns there’s much more to the tough-talking, hard-drinking Patterson than meets the eye.
