Hall of Famer

By Phil Matthews

A baseball prodigy escapes a life of brutality, only to find the demons of his past are his greatest rivals.

From a desolate Texas barrio to the hallowed fields of Major League Baseball, Hall of Famer is a gripping tale of one man's struggle to outrun his past. Francisco, a boy with an extraordinary talent for hitting a baseball, is shaped by a violent home and a brutal street life. After a final act of rebellion and an attempted suicide, he reinvents himself as Randy McComb, a rising star in the LA Dodgers. But as he climbs to fame, the ghosts of his past-including a murderous rage and the loss of his beloved family-threaten to unravel his new life with his wife, Greta, and their two children, Mauricio and Gwendolyn. This is a story of survival, forgiveness, and the relentless pursuit of a redemption that can only be found by facing the darkest parts of yourself.
