Mike Sowell, author of The Pitch that Killed a factual account of the 1920 American League pennant race, and the tragic death of Ray Chapman by a pitched ball,has this to say about my novel.
" I really enjoyed A PITCH FOR JUSTICE. It kept me hanging until the end. Great story and excellent job telling it". Mike Sowell, Author of THE PITCH THAT KILLED,(soon to be a major motion picture called DEADBALL)
My book is a fictitious portrayal of what could happen today if a batter were beaned after the team's manager calls for retaliation.
The next step is the investigation and prosecution of the rookie pitcher for homicide. What effect would such a prosecution have upon the game of baseball and how it's played? Should the baseball commissioner soley handle the matter or is it really criminal conduct.
What was in the heart of the rookie pitcher when he threw the pitch?
