Calico Joe by John Grishma
Love baseball stories and this one is a good one.
Story of not only the professional life of a baseball player but his personal home life.
Love the 'fresh from the garden vegetables' when Paul is home for a meal.
Such honor when the player returns rather than playing on the team the field/organization has hired him in his handicap state to take care of the field and scoreboard for life.
The incident that ended one person's life, Joe Castle on the field Warren Tracy won't even come to terms about. His son Paul wants him to apologize to the old dying man before it's too late. He knows and his father knows what happened.
Things really get scary when the police are called for a threat to kill the family cuz of what happened.
The abuse and what the family puts up with are uncalled for and now I realize there's more to the story of what really happened with the pitch.
