Description

Manderino's second novel is a comic gem. At forty, Hank has decided he's through with baseball - a routine pop-up fell on his head and he got the message.

Trouble is, baseball is the one thing that's given any meaning to his life.

This is the painfully funny story of a man who decides to get a life, but isn't sure how.

It's about fathers and sons, heroes and whiners, the wheel of fortune (and Vanna White), baseball and the decline of Western civilization - and why Hall of Famer Nellie Fox always spat in his glove.

One reader commented, 'This is a wonderful book: funny and touching.

The characters are real and the situations they get into are riveting.

The dialogue is great; the voices ring so true. An extremely enjoyable read, even for only casual fans of baseball'.
