At forty, Hank has decided he is through with baseball, a routine pop-up fell on his head, and he got the message. The trouble is baseball is the one thing that has given any meaning to his life.

It is about fathers and sons, heroes and whiners, the wheel of fortune (and Vanna White), baseball and the decline of Western civilization and why Nellie Fox always spat in his glove.
