One of the all-time classic baseball novels is finally back-in-print after sixty years. It's a story that only Charles Einstein, the sports writer beloved by millions in the 1950s and the biographer of Willie Mays, could have told.
Stat Hunter is the manager of a minor league baseball team who is struggling to keep his life and his players together. His wife has left him, he's being threatened by a blackmailer with secrets from his past, and his most promising player is being pressured by gamblers. He knows he should walk away from it all...but he can't. Because the only thing he's ever wanted, the only thing he could ever really do, and the only thing in the whole damn world worth caring about, is baseball.
