Calico Joe - A Novel - John Grisham
- In English. First published in 2011 (e-book).
It’s the summer of 1973, and Joe Castle is the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone has ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas, dazzles Chicago Cubs fans as he hits home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shatters all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly becomes the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing New York Mets pitcher.
-> A quite mysterious book for those who don't happen to know anaything about baseball, yet a enjoyable kind of a book by a baseball fan of a John Grisham.
