1 He Was Home

Kaleb Hale was in his fourth season as a pitcher in the majors and was getting progressively more sick of his nomadic lifestyle. So. Many. Away games. 

The constant traveling was really wearing on him. He spent so much time on the road that he was hardly in his apartment in Detroit but that wasn't the biggest problem. He was getting homesick.

He had been away from New York ever since he went off to college in Florida and missed it more than he thought he would considering how desperate he had been to escape at the time. He had worked things out with Violet though so he didn't feel stifled being around her all the time anymore. 

Kaleb was determined to be her unborn baby's favorite uncle and that would be difficult if he was only around consistently for a few months out of the year. Nathan or even Logan could easily beat him out for that since they were both based in New York City these days.
