Protected in clear archival cover.~~ A collection of stories about baseball and baseball players by this University of South Florida journalism professor and son of former Major Leaguer and long-time scout, coach and manager Del Wilber. "This new collection of stories weaves the thread of the national pastime through touching and powerful tales of relationships that sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, where tragic violence ripples through two lovers' lives, where a father learns essential truths from a handicapped son, and where a middle-aged ballplayer finally comes to understand his father through the wonder of a single base hit in an amateur ballgame." Also includes fantasy fiction that brings Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Joe Garagiola, Stephen Crane and Fidel Castro onto the field. Inscribed by author on title page: "For Frank and the very talented Otto Hemingswerth. All best, Rick Wilber." A nice collectible copy.
