Flashing Spikes — Frank O'Rourke

His name is Riley and he bakes the Big League. His story, written by a former ball player, is the fascinating day-by-day, play-by-play fictionalized biography of the ball hawks, the bench jockeys, the press box men and the talented kids who take their cut at the horsehide, on the sand lots, and in the Polo Grounds of a baseball loving nation.
