Seller's Description:
Deborah Hooks (Cover photograph) Very good in Good jacket. 267 [5] pages. The dust jacket has some wear and soiling. Some discoloration on top edge. Slattery shares his personal knowledge of the game (he pitched in the minor leagues) and his consuming passion for its players. The novel tells the story of Bill Mahoney, an aging minor league pitcher who finds it increasingly difficult to respond to the call to "Play ball! " both on the field and in his daily life. Martin Slattery was born in Brooklyn, New York 72 years ago, and grew up in Southern California. During the Korean Conflict, Marty served in the United States Navy. Following his service in the Navy, he had a brief career in minor league baseball. His love of the game led to a lifetime involvement as a youth baseball coach in both California and Colorado. Previous publications include several fiction pieces in small literary magazines and journals. Writing under the name, Edward Bear, Marty authored a series of books relating to spirituality and recovery. He was honored by Colorado Independent Publishers in 2001 for a novel about his hospice experiences. Derived from a Kirkus review: A poignant first novel about an aging baseball player overcoming adversity to make a comeback. In 1960, Bill Mahoney is a 19-year-old California phenom with a hot arm and a contract to pitch for the Chicago Cubs. But it's all downhill from there--he develops bone chips in his elbow before he can even make it to the majors, drifts out of baseball to become a construction worker, and marries a woman named Gloria. The marriage founders in the Sixties (a transformed Gloria grabs the kids and runs off with her lover), and Mahoney is left to drink and mourn his failed life--eventually ending up in a mental institution, where he gradually begins playing baseball again. In 1981, then, lying about his age, he joins the Lodi Dodgers, a California League Class A team in the L.A. Dodgers farm system. Known now as "Pops, " he actually helps pitch Lodi to a division title--while providing advice to his young, impetuous teammates, and even falling love with a beautiful snack-bar waitress. Mahoney will never make the major leagues--but at last he's found himself. Tried, true, and enjoyably baseball reading.
