I never thought I would meet my celebrity crush, let alone save his life.
I'm a huge baseball fan and I absolutely adore the Bay Birds' first baseman, Rusty Power. With his red hair and piercing blue eyes, the man is gorgeous. That, and I love his upbeat attitude and how grateful he seems to be about playing ball. Having a celebrity crush can be fun, but it can also be depressing. I'm about as plain as a woman could possibly be, so most men ignore me. Even the fantasy of a man as incredible as Rusty noticing me is ridiculous.
Baseball is my life. It always has been, and I still can't believe I made it to the majors. Every day when I put on my Baltimore Bay Birds uniform was like a dream come true. Until one day when all that changed…I was walking on the warning track during batting practice when everything suddenly went black. The next thing I know some woman is frantically doing CPR on me. My eyes met hers for a second before the trainers pulled her away and rushed me to the hospital.
I saved Rusty Power's life. Thank God I knew CPR and had dashed onto the field during batting practice. Not only had I restarted Rusty's heart, but I was at the hospital with him when he got the worst news of his life.
He would never play baseball again.
