He designs an elaborate system of dice rolls to determine the outcomes of games and even the life events of the players, and grows increasingly obsessed with his creation. As the line between his real life and the world of the Universal Baseball Association blurs, Waugh experiences a series of tragedies and triumphs that mirror the unpredictability and drama of a real-life baseball season.
