| I took a photo of the book cover because the cover on Amazon is very different, but this one has a shiny cover on it, which doesn't photograph well. |
In the end it was Harry's fault.I'm curious about what was Harry's fault, but I'm put off by all the numbers in the baseball paragraph. Hope I like it.
Harry Goodman had promised to help Professor Hughes around the house that Friday. He'd also promised the Friday before and the Friday before that, too.
But it was New England and baseball season and 2004. The Sox were moving toward a ninety-eight, sixty-four record that spring and five months later, that October, they'd sweep the Cardinals to win their first Series in eighty-six years.

Well, it's a great title. I agree about the numbers. It implies a very literally insider baseball kind of book, to which I say, "Goodwill."
But I'd give it a chance first.
I was drawn in by the title...if there is a lot of baseball, though, it wouldn't be for me...LOL. I hope you enjoy it. Here's mine: “THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR”
I've noticed that people who are crazy about baseball are also crazy about numbers. It just seems to go together for them. But the paragraph does sound interesting, so I'd like to read a bit more.
I imagine the numbers are more for character building purposes than anything else. I do like the sound of this one and am curious to know what exactly is Harry's fault!
Like Margot, I think that baseball and numbers just go together. Hope the book turns out to be a good one.
That is a terrible cover but, I'm kinda curious.
