The Man Who Once Played Catch With Nellie Fox by John Manderino (English) Hardco

Description: The Man Who Once Played Catch With Nellie Fox by John Manderino At forty, Hank has decided he's through with baseball — a routine pop-up fell on his head and he got the message. Trouble is, baseball is the one thing that's given any meaning to his life. This is the painfully funny story of a man who decides to get a life, but isn't sure how. It's 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.
