Left-fielder Barry McGee enjoys being the Peach Street Mudders’ hit-away batter. In fact, maybe he likes being a hero too much. He doesn’t mind bending the rules a little to help himself out. But when a pitcher from a rival team finds him out, Barry faces his toughest challenge yet — does he play along with the pitcher’s “deal” or does he play fair?
