Diamond Ring — K.D. Casey

Teammates reunite to give love another shot in the third installment of KD Casey's riveting Unwritten Rules series.

Jake Fischer has been here before: pitching for the Oakland Elephants, hiding his worries behind a smile, hoping to win it all. Ten years ago, it didn't turn out the way he wanted. Nothing in his life did. But now he's back -- and so is the one teammate tied inexorably to his past.

It doesn't matter how many times catcher Alex Angelides replays that moment during the Fall Classic over in his mind, the outcome never changes. He's not sure what happened to make that pitch glance off his glove, or what happened with his relationship with Jake -- and he's not going to be the one to ask.

A whole lot may have changed in the last decade, but some things have stayed the same. Jake and Alex still can't stay out of each other's faces on the field, or out of each other's beds off of it. They've got a second chance to win it all…but only if they realize what they lost.
