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.

I'll open with a disclaimer, this is my father reading his novel. It immediately takes me back to my childhood when he would read to me and I would be completely immersed in the story because of his ability to characterize each persona of the story. I know the poem by heart and was amazed by his ability to take such different perspectives of the same story. I am critical of the great sport myth and it's refreshing to have a sport story that's not just from our hero.
