Reseña del libro "The Vintage Rookie: a story about baseball (en Inglés)"
THE VINTAGE ROOKIE is the third book in the three-novel series about George Grant. It starts 35 years after George graduates from high school. In late summer an essential farm worker leaves and George is unable to find a replacement.George is forced to forego college and give up his dream to play professional baseball. Keeping the farm running is the top priority. It takes more than a year to find a replacement farm worker and by then George and Marcy Caldwell, his high school sweetheart, are married and immersed in keeping the farm going as a successful family business.Even though George can't leave the farm, he and Roy continue to practice George's pitching. As he ages, George's speed and accuracy improve. He still gets tingles in his hands and arms and he still sees a baseball flying through the air in slow motion.Finally, when George is 54, he and Marcy, accompanied by Roy and his wife Sally, go to Phoenix for an early spring vacation. It is still winter on the farm but the Cactus League baseball spring training season is in full swing in the Valley of the Sun. They plan to watch some baseball games.Unknown to George until he arrives in Phoenix, Roy has arranged for him to give a pitching demonstration to a professional team. The players, managers and owner of the team are impressed with George's speed and accuracy as a pitcher. When he steps to the plate as a batter, they are even more impressed. The team owner gives George a contract to pitch for his team for the last two weeks of spring training.When the owner learns that an injury to one of his pitchers will sideline him for the entire season, he signs George to a contract. The result is a baseball season beyond the wildest expectations of the players, coaches and owner.
