Hot Number

This book is dedicated to the most important people in my life.

My husband, Phil, MY number 22 and the sexiest guy in a baseball uniform. Didn't you know that's what kept me coming back for more?

My mother for raising me to be independent and to believe in myself and for renewing my love of baseball-even if she is a Yankee fan, I'm a Met fan and my husband, from Boston, is a Red Sox fan. At least our family life is interesting and fun!

My father who has no interest in sports but survives the bickering with a smile and who is my most loyal fan.

And as always my girls, Jackie and Jennifer, for just being you!

And an extra-special thank-you to Janelle Denison, who saved me midway through yet again.

Where would I be without you?

I love you all.
