A Year in the Life of a Baseball Player

Mike Nicklaus is a popular, veteran player-the type of guy "who wasn't supposed to be a major leaguer," but his drive and determination surpassed almost everyone's expectations. A late round draft pick, he outperforms more heralded players every year, winning the admiration of baseball personnel and fans, who can identify with Mike's lunchbox mentality and work ethic. A serious and career threatening injury robs hi, of what appeared was going to be his best year ever and threatens his future in the game.
