Additional information
by John Feinstein (Author)
Perfect for baseball lovers and fans of Mike Lupica, book three in the Triple Threat series by New York Times bestselling sports writer John Feinstein explores what happens when athletes break the rules.
Alex Myers's football and basketball seasons were mired in controversy, and his dad's been MIA since his parents split up. All Alex wants this spring is to work on his fastball and hang out with his maybe-girlfriend, Christine. But he runs into unexpected competition on both fronts. Matt Gordon was suspended from sports after he admitted taking PEDs during football season, but the athletic board has decided to give him another chance. So he's on the team--and he's got something to prove. He's also got his eye on Christine. The question this season--is all fair in love and baseball? Or are some things truly foul? Filled with action, intrigue, and intense rivalries, The DH and the other books in the Triple Threat series follow the ups and downs of one talented athlete's year in sports. Praise for book one in the Triple Threat series, The Walk On:"All the goods for the sports enthusiast--and more." --Kirkus Reviews "Full of refreshingly decent high school students, first crushes, a dose of dating drama, and a cliff-hanger ending, The Walk On will interest even non-football fans." --School Library Journal Praise for book two in the Triple Threat series, The Sixth Man:
"Suspenseful and well-dramatized sports action scenes. . . . Solidly drawn, both on and off the court." --Kirkus Reviews
