A sweeping historical novel set in the 1888 dawn of professional baseball when Blacks were banned, umpires were routinely beaten, and the game shifted from a collegial pastime of gentlemen to a nasty fight to the death by gritty Irish immigrants. Del Leonard Jones, author of The Cremation of Sam McGee, is trailblazing a new flavor of historical novel built upon the beloved ballads that have withstood time.

Finally a narator who plays the roles
Revisado: 11-14-20
I only listen to books when it is impossible to read. Driving, cooking, laundry are all examples.
These other tasks do seem to cause distractions, which cause some confussion as to who is saying what. Mr. Jones' narration by using different vocies for the different characters saves confusion allowing a distracted mind to refocus and follow all story.
it comes very near to listening to the old time radio shows minus the bells whistles and wooden blocks
The story of Casey was very enjoyable and with the reading of Mr. Jones other book about Sam McGee I know there is enough factual history intertwined to make me want to research further to see if i like the facts more than the fiction.
