So there was Joey feeling abandoned. Soon Joey would travel to Ocean View to attend a special school. He would live with Grandmother and Uncle. At first Al and Joey despised each other. However over the course of time these two battered souls would come together and heal. Their common dominator was their love for the game of baseball. The summer of 1973 would be a time Al and Joey would reflect back upon as the turning point in their lives.
