About this title: Charlie Stoddard, formerly a stellar pro ball pitcher, is a has-been, both on the mound and in his personal life. Then he meets Mr. Chang, a physical therapist who says he can fix him up. Very quickly, Charlie gets his arm back--and a contract with the Red Sox who, as usual, are desperate for a pennant win. All goes well until a surprise player turns up and threatens Charlie's newfound equilibrium in every aspect of his life.

"A fun read for any baseball fan. Lupica himself says it best. "The characters represented were not part of the '88 Mets team. But they should have been." Throw in a dose of the Red Sox curse (the book was written pre-2004), and you have a fun story you almost wish was true."
"I can't help it -- I have an unexplainable crush of Mike Lupica. I love to watch him get so worked up that he stammers all over the SportsReporters set. (And I am not a sports fan in any than the most recreational form.) This one is fairly predictable but still damn fun. Especially if you can hear Lupica's voice in your head."
