A Drive into the Gap — Kevin Guilfoile
“A Drive Into the Gap” is a story about baseball. About fathers and sons. It's about memory and identity, and an insidious illness that can rob a person of both.
It's also a detective story, an investigation into the improbable journey of a baseball bat from the hands of Roberto Clemente and one of the most iconic moments in baseball history to a 12-year-old boy's bedroom.
