looking for a story

[tycho]

Its a baseball story and later on near the end we find out the Main Character has Lukemia and also the authors has a second story out, almost like a squeal to the first one. Also the main character becomes friends, with a bully, and the main character finds out it was due to his home life

Two possibilities:

-Outside the Foul Lines by Rick Beck (this site)

baseball story with mention of cancer but no bullies

 

-Joel series of stories by Ted Louis (https://tedlouis.com/)

peripheral baseball with leukemia & bully (it's been years since I read these so my recollection is unreliable)
