Summary:
The big field is about a baseball player named Keith "Hutch" Hutchinson who plays for the Boynton Beach Cardinals.
All of his life he has been a shortstop on every baseball team he has ever played for. The book starts out with the cardinals, facing the Palm Beach Yankees to move on to the Florida State Regionals. Over the summer the Cards main shortstop hadn't been Hutch, but, it had been Daryl "D-Will" Williams. Heading into their next game. Coach Cullen for the next few games wanted to nominate a team captain and Hutch was voted by his whole team to be the captain, and when the whole team was chanting "Hutch, Hutch" he saw Daryl walking to the bench; picked his gear and went home.So a very big part of the story is about Hutch attempting to become friends with Daryl.
Now not only was Hutch trying to become friends with Daryl, but he was also trying to become friends with his dad. When his dad was Hutch's age, he was the captain of the Little League World Series Florida team. After winning the title, he got a scholarship to play baseball in college(the book doesn't say the college) and after that he got drafted by the NY Yankees and only got to Single A ball.
Later, he got signed with the Twins, but could only make to Triple A, not the majors. So his dad has 3 jobs and is always heart- broken(although you can never tell) that he didn't make the majors.In the book he grows closer to his dad and he starts to become great friends with Daryl. Their team gets to the Championship Game at Roger Dean Field(Spring Training for the Marlins) and it's the first year the Championship is being televised.D-will hit the game winning homer, but Hutch didn't care, because for the first time in a long long time he saw his father in the stands gave him a hug, and his father hugged back.

Imagine falling in love with someone you shouldn't. Someone who would be dangerous to be around. Bella Swan was just another average teenage girl until she met Edward. Square jaw, tall, golden eyes perfect hair and smile that any girl would kill to even watch, Edward was just gorgeous. But something was strange about him and his family the Cullens, all so beautiful with pale hard sparkling skin staying secluded from the other students. Edward was a vampire. But Bella didn't care, all she knew was that she was so deeply in love with him that he was almost part of her soul. Edward loved Bella so much he was willing to die for her but was that enough to tame the intense burning in his throat when Bella was around or the tantalizing smell of her skin, even the rush of the blood in her throat? Is it possible for their passion to survive? On top of this the evil vampire Victoria is searcing to kill Bella since Edward killed her husband, Victoria wants revenge. Nothing will stop her from biting humans and making an army of young strong vampires who live for one purpose. To snuff out the life of Bella Swan.
