It Looked Like For Ever: Mark Harris: 9780803272446: Amazon.com: Books

Book Description:

March 1, 1989
Henry Wiggen, the bedraggled six-foot-three, 195-pound, left-handed pitcher for the New York Mammoths, returns to narrate another novel in his inimitable manner. Fans who loved him in Bang the Drum Slowly, The Southpaw, and A Ticket for a Seamstitch (all Bison Books) will cheer his comeback. Wiggen is now thirty-nine, a fading veteran with a floating fastball, a finicky prostate, and other intimations of mortality. Released from the Mammoths after nineteen years, the twenty-seventh winningest pitcher in baseball history (tied at 247 victories with Joseph J. "Iron Man" McGinnity and John Powell), Wiggen is not ready to hang up his glove. What impels Henry to pitch against Pate, to trek to California and as far as Japan? He still has a few seasons, a few innings left anyway. Is he principled or possessed? You'll have to decide for yourself as author Mark Harris plays out Wiggen's midlife crisis on familiar American turf: the baseball diamond.

Now in mass market from the New York Times bestselling author—a mesmerizing thriller where life and death are played out against the backdrop of America’s favorite pastime.

Forced to retire from his job as a scout for the Yankees, Jack Barrett is just getting by in a small Florida town when his daughter drags him to watch the local minor-league game. It’s a night that will change his life. Jack spots a remarkable player whose amazing natural skill on the field is overshadowed by his bad attitude and solitary habits. But the young man has a secret that will put all of Jack’s plans—and maybe even his life—in jeopardy. Suspenseful and surprising, this tightly wrought tale proves Stephen Frey to be a true master of page-turning fiction.
