Delightful combination of baseball and nonsense!,
Aug 4, 2009
By bigfrank ,
Milano, Italy
"For lovers of Plimpton's "biographical" works, here is a chance to see him have a go at writing straight-out fiction. The result is a hilarious tale that is an entertaining read even for the non-baseball fan."

"Perhaps my all-time fave baseball book. About a Buddhist monk pitching for the '85 Mets who learned to throw ~150 mph fastballs by tossing rocks at yaks."

Although I'm not currently a fan of baseball, there's something about it that lends itself to fantasy and the suspension of disbelief like no other sport. (e.g. - The Natural) Fine, it's no Tolstoy, but even readers need to have fun every once in a while."
