Sam Fowler is taking a modern-day Amtrak home to San Francisco when an

Bewildered at first, Sam soon meets up with the Cincinnati Red Stockings,
baseball's first all-professional team, and begins to ride the rails with them
on their first national tour across post-Civil War America. He encounters a
