I would not have included Mark Harris' "The Southpaw"; I would have picked his entire Henry Wiggens trilogy, "The Southpaw", "Bang the Drum Slowly",and <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Ticket-Seamstitch-Bison-Paperbacks/dp/0803272243" REL="nofollow">A Ticket for a Seamstitch"</A>. A fourth book, <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Looked-Like-Ever-Mark-Harris/dp/0803272448/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209990209&sr=1-20" REL="nofollow">"It Looked Like For Ever"</A> was added to the "trilogy" later on. Each book is different as each book deals with a different age. Mr. Harris was an incredibly undervalued and subtle writer. Each of his baseball "trilogy" books is more than worth a summer's day passage together.DarkoVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.com
