It's the Marx Brothers and Three Stooges meets baseball and the New York Mets in this highly irreverent novel. A high school phenom wants to pitch for the Mets, the worst team ever. Unfortunately, he ruins his arm and his career is over until a chance encounter with a Professor on the lam from chicken wing eating Homeland Security agents enables the kid to join the Mets with a new pitch--the Knuckleball from Hell. Original. 10,000 first printing.
