From the moment he sold the program and the quarter touched his hand, eight-year-old Johnny Napolitao's life changed forever. No longer was he the poor Italian kid, eating the government cheese, living in the projects across the street from Suffok Downs Race Track. Now he had a purpose, a calling to help support the family. He had found that encouragement, that swagger, that moment that lifted him higher than he had thought possible. From Suffolk Downs to the streets of Boston, to Fenway Park and Revere Beach, Johnny and his friends, George, Anthony and Michael explore the avenues that made them men.
