What a Great Find

I'm a sucker for a sports story--those who know me might wonder why (perhaps because it's SO far from my reality?) but I've loved more than a few. Anyway, this book ventured into one young man's foray into the world of professional baseball, trying to play his best while navigating salary negotiation, love, the unfairness of segregation, and the press. Not easy for a country boy. I found Henry quite likable and goofy.
