"Why did you leave me?" I ask while wrapping his wrist. He didn't look at me, he couldn't look at me. "I'm sorry Mae, you wouldn't understand." I thought he had known me better than that, we were best friends for 14 years, then dating for 2. "I miss you Mae, I should've reached out." I couldn't show that he still affected me. "You're all wrapped up, you might wanna head back to the field," I pick up my supplies then leave him with his thoughts. We were once two songbirds, now we're just two strangers.

"This is why we don't challenge six-year-olds." It should've been a normal day... but one wrong number, a little too much chaos, and somehow I ended up texting KJ Jackson from the Savannah Bananas. Now there's popcorn on the floor, a bruised ego, and the realization that six-year-olds might actually be undefeated. (Also, sorry in advance for any misspelled words or grammar mistakes-my brain moves faster than my typing.) (FINISHED)

Some imagines about baseballs funniest, cutest, most energetic boys

Noah Bridges is the star outfielder for the Firefighters, a man known for his powerhouse left-handed swing, his lightning-fast catches, and a smile that belongs on a country music album cover. Blair Whitmore is the team's sharp-witted athletic trainer, the woman responsible for keeping the roster healthy and the chaos of Banana Ball under control. On the field, they are the ultimate professionals. Off the field, and strictly off the record, they've carved out a secret arrangement that's as high-energy as a sold-out game. It started as a way to blow off steam between tour stops-a few shared drinks, a little line dancing, and a "no strings attached" hookup in the quiet corners of the team hotel. But as the season heats up, the lines are beginning to blur: The Performance: Noah finds himself playing for an audience of one, looking toward the dugout for Blair's approval after every home run. The Care: Blair's hands linger a little too long when she's taping Noah's wrists, and her "professional" concern is starting to feel a lot more personal. The Secret: With teammates like his brother Zachary and the rest of the Firefighters always watching, the pressure to keep their "benefits" hidden is reaching a breaking point. In a league where every move is part of the show, Noah and Blair are realizing that the most dangerous game isn't happening on the diamond-it's the one they're playing with their hearts. When the music stops and the fans go home, will they be able to keep their distance, or are they ready to go on the record?

Bailey Kay has a strict "no athletes" rule. Living in Savannah, she's seen enough yellow-jersey-wearing heartbreakers to last a lifetime. But when she sends a heated, "I'm-totally-quitting-my-job" text to her best friend and gets a witty, incredibly supportive reply from a complete stranger instead, she's hooked. For the first time in years, she's found someone she can actually talk to-someone who understands her love for the arts and doesn't just want to talk about batting averages. KJ Jackson is the Savannah Bananas' secret weapon. As #4 on the field, he's a utility player who can do it all-hitting homers, catching fly balls, and nailing every choreographed dance routine thanks to his theater minor. But behind the bright yellow uniform and the "KJ" persona, he's just a guy looking for a genuine connection. When a "wrong number" text turns into a daily digital ritual, he finds himself falling for a girl he's never met. The Twist? They aren't strangers at all. Bailey is the new assistant to the Bananas' creative director, and she's been clashing with the "arrogant" KJ Jackson in the dugout for weeks. As the texts get deeper, the real-life tension between them gets higher. Neither of them realizes that the person they are falling for online is the exact person they can't stand in the stadium. In a world where everything is a show, will they strike out when the masks finally come off?

Chloe Smith was born to be in the circle. As the ace pitcher for Texas A&M, her life was a blur of 70mph risers and postseason dreams-until the sickening pop of her ACL during her senior year changed everything. Now, instead of a professional contract, Chloe is facing a summer of grueling physical therapy and the humid, slow-paced air of Savannah, Georgia. Staying with her brother, Jake, was supposed to be a quiet way to heal, but Savannah has other plans. Specifically, a boy named KJ Jackson. KJ is everything Chloe isn't used to: a utility player for the Savannah Bananas who treats baseball like a Broadway show and doesn't take life too seriously. As Chloe watches him from the stands at Grayson Stadium, the "Banana Ball" magic starts to rub off. What begins as a casual summer hookup quickly spirals into an intense connection that threatens to upend Chloe's plans to return to Texas. With the season finale fast approaching, Chloe faces the ultimate choice: does she return to the life she worked so hard to build in Texas, or does she realize that sometimes, the best plays are the ones you never see coming?

Kinsley Hayes knows two things: how to handle a horse on her family's Georgia ranch and how to nurse a broken heart. When her best friends, Macy and Sloane, drag her out to a dive bar to celebrate her recent breakup, the goal is simple: one night of forgetting. Then she meets Noah Bridges. With his easy North Carolina charm and the athletic build of a professional outfielder for the Firefighters, Noah is exactly the distraction Kinsley needs. He's fast on the field, wearing that iconic red jersey under the leadership of Coach Perez, but he's even faster at making Kinsley forget her ex's name. What was supposed to be a one-time "reset" quickly turns into a recurring appointment. No strings, no feelings, just a text whenever the fire gets too hot to handle. But in the world of Banana Ball, where the rules are made to be broken and the crowd is always watching, Kinsley and Noah are finding it harder and harder to stay in their lanes. As the Firefighters' season heats up, Kinsley realizes that while she grew up on a ranch, she might not be prepared to wrangle the feelings she's starting to have for #9. When the game is this fast and the stakes are this high, someone is bound to get burned.

Ava Bennett is a ghost in a city famous for its spirits. After escaping a childhood defined by a revolving door of foster homes and a series of toxic relationships that left her more bruised than she'd ever admit, she moved to Savannah, Georgia, to disappear. She works late shifts, keeps her head down, and lives by one cardinal rule: Don't let anyone close enough to hit the "shatter" point. Ava knows she's "damaged goods," and she's determined not to let her messy history leak onto anyone else's clean slate. Dalton Mauldin is living a life that's anything but quiet. As the infielder wearing #13 for the Loco Beach Coconuts-the wildest new expansion team in the Banana Ball world-his days are filled with choreographed dances, teal jerseys, and back-to-back sellouts at Grayson Stadium. But when the stadium lights go down, Dalton trades his glove for a guitar. He writes songs about things he hasn't felt yet-until he meets Ava. When a chance encounter at a local music dive brings them together, the chemistry is instant. Ava tries to warn him off, convinced that her "rough past" is a contagion that will ruin his rising career and his upbeat music. She's terrified that her trauma will eventually hurt him, but Dalton isn't looking for an easy out. To Dalton, Ava isn't a project or a tragedy; she's the melody he's been trying to write his whole life. He doesn't care about the scars or the shadows she's running from. In the world of Banana Ball, the rules are different, and Dalton is ready to play the long game to prove to Ava that even the most broken records can play the most beautiful songs.

Six months ago, KJ Jackson broke every rule and every wall around Allison Taylor's heart. He didn't mean to fall in love. She didn't believe she ever could. But somewhere between late-night rooftop kisses, whispered confessions, and a single "I love you" that shattered everything, they stopped being a maybe-and became everything. Now it's winter in Savannah. The season may be slow, but their relationship is anything but. Alli still refuses to call him her boyfriend. KJ still doesn't care. She's in his bed, in his apartment, in his world-and he's never letting her go. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Their banter? Unmatched. Their bond? Unbreakable. But love doesn't erase scars. And the past doesn't stay buried forever. With the 2026 Banana Ball tour looming, new challenges on the horizon, and secrets threatening the peace they've built, KJ and Alli must fight harder than ever to hold onto what they've found-because this time, it's not just a game. It's real. It's messy. It's them. And it will always be her.
