Eddie is a brilliant baseball player whose career in the game gets a big set-back due to a bizarre shootout. True story of Eddie is very sentimental. The effect of the accident on the life of this player is well described with original quotes and headlines from various news published at that time. At times, in this story, the author wanders off the main characters and gives the details of the scenario at that time during middle of 20th century, which is packed with lot of information in few words. There are plenty of names which a reader unfamiliar with the game cannot relate to, but may be, the people who follow this game would remember them, still the book is a very good read. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in sports, especially baseball. This is a story which will give inspiration to sportsmen to make comeback even after the worst set-backs.
