I spent the month doing research and working on an idea for a fiction series I may write someday. What if monsters were real and a chosen few 19th-century baseball players were secretly tasked with defending us from them?
To flesh out the idea a little, I wrote a short teaser story of a pre-Civil War meeting between General P.G.T. Beauregard and Captain Abner Doubleday. It turns out, these two men were the human incarnations of immortal seraphim angels waging an eternal battle to maintain the balance between Good and Evil. They call this battle “The Struggle.”
I think ChatGPT4 summed up my idea very well:
“In a misty, wooded clearing, Captain Doubleday and General Beauregard engage in a fateful meeting, hinting at a transformative idea for humanity: replacing war with baseball. Their conversation, set against the backdrop of the looming American Civil War, reveals a mystical world where baseball legends battle supernatural forces. “Heroes of Baseball” unveils the secret lives of 19th-century baseball icons, intertwining history with dark fantasy in a saga of struggle, heroism, and the supernatural.”
