By: Michael Brendan Rowe

"Dizzy Ducks of Greenwood" tells the tale of Otto Watters, a 17-year-old Native American baseball prodigy who is adopted by an African American family in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. His trademark pitch, the Dizzy Duck, catches the eye of a professional baseball scout, leading to an opportunity to try out for the Philadelphia Phillies, where Otto meets Ben Grant, an all-American batting prodigy and the son of an oil tycoon. As the boys embark on a journey together, they battle through the challenges of racial tension and personal struggles, all while trying to hold on to their love for baseball. On their return home, they are faced with the devastating tragedy of the Tulsa race massacre of 1921, and must learn to forgive and heal in order to move forward. "Dizzy Ducks of Greenwood" is a heartwarming story about family, friendship, and the power of forgiveness in the face of adversity.
