It's 2050. Pops, a 95 year-old trans activist, has died. He maintained a scrapbook on the early development of the Transsexual Baseball League in Toronto from the 1970's.
In the urn of Pops' deceased lover, a key to a bank safety box leads to notebooks with interviews conducted in 1975 with old baseball players in the Negro Baseball League. The death of Josh Gibson in 1947, suggested poisoning and an assassination. At night, an unapproved excavator exhumes the body to search for a bullet that might be in Josh's head.
The staff of ESQN, the Queer Network, an offshoot of ESPN, prepares funeral arrangements for Gibson at the Boston Gardens; an opportunity to advertise gay-trans baseball. An unusual cast of characters entertains the audience.
The mystery surrounding Pops' lover unravels when an eccentric elder, Mini, makes a confusing deathbed confession to a hard-of-hearing priest. Mini dies with an interesting will.
This 'Black Humor' story, weaves a tale between fact and fiction, showing little restraint for religion, sexual preferences, politicians, media, death, physical peculiarities and the Klan. Many people will identify parts of themselves in the narrative.
