Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young pitcher named Lefty Locke as he attempts to make his way into the competitive world of professional baseball. As he faces challenges from both the manager and fellow players, Lefty's journey captures the ups and downs of trying to prove oneself in a demanding sport filled with rivalries and personal conflicts. The opening of the novel introduces Lefty Locke as he arrives at the baseball park to report for training with the Hornets.

Tensions escalate when he eventually ends up in a precarious situation, facing criticism and hostility as he seeks to earn his place on the team.
