Blockade Billy by Stephen King.
Even the most diehard baseball fans don`t know the true story of William `Blockade Billy` Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first – and only – player to have his existence completely removed from the record books. Even his team is long forgotten, barely a footnote in the game`s history.
Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse . . . and only Stephen King, the most gifted storyteller of our age, can reveal the truth about the world, once and for all.
The bonus story in MORALITY is a riveting short about Chad, an aspiring writer who is teaching in a school until he lands a publishing contract. His wife Nora is working as a home nurse for a retired minister. Like most people these days, they are struggling financially. And then Nora is approached by her employer with a proposition that could make their dream of a home in Vermont a reality. But will it be worth the moral consequences?
