Gill Gamesh is the only pitcher who ever literally tried to kill the umpire. The ex-con first baseman, John Baal never hit a home run sober. In this satiric novel, baseball’s status as national pastime and myth is turned into an occasion for farce, with a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Acitivities Committee.
