Book description
Thirty years have passed since eleven-year-old Paul Tracy watched his
troubled father, Warren, a pitcher for the New York Mets, clash with his
childhood hero, the Cubs' golden-boy Joe Castle, in a contest from which
no winners emerged. Now the news that his father is dying brings the
memory of that day flooding back. Deciding that it's time to face up to
what really happened on that baseball field in 1973, father and son make
their way to Calico Rock, Arkansas, where either redemption or rejection
awaits them.
