The 7th Game

Matt Dillon is the Cleveland Indians star center fielder and one of the best baseball players in the Major Leagues. The Indians had just won the sixth game of the World Series, tying the series at three games each. He is driving home thinking about baseball, tomorrow's deciding seventh game, and baseball history when his car is hit by the driver of another vehicle. When he woke up in the hospital after his first surgery, he is informed by his doctor that he will probably walk again, but his days of playing baseball are over. His ankle had been severely crushed. He is devastated, and he has lost God, his zest for life, and the game he loved with all his heart. This is the story about the next two years of his life as he attempts to recover with the help of a childhood friend and one abused little girl. He was totally lost. Would he find himself again?
