Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Kevin Gallagher has spent over 40 years litigating in courtrooms and has visited more than 40 major and minor league baseball parks- some long gone. To him, both our justice system and the game embody similar paradoxes of the human condition; sorrow- joy, love -hate, excellence- incompetence, grudges-forgiveness. In his fourth novel, Fields of Forgiveness, Gallagher draws on these life experiences, with generous dollops of playful satire, humor and surreal encounters with famous players from today - and long ago, all coming together in one place. Included are fictional adventures with Pete Rose, an early attempt to integrate the game and the author's relationship with Mickey Mantle, based loosely on real life experience. The focus is forgiveness and the stories ask the questions as to how baseball should apply the virtue to some of its most storied players-one in particular. Pete Rose, Jackie Robinson, Cy Young, Mike Trout, Willie Mays, The Babe, The Mick, Yogi, Henry Aaron, Derek Jeter, Shoeless Joe, Barry Bonds, Ty Cobb, to name a few, all join to form this riveting, yet fun, playfully poignant and historically interesting collection of baseball lore.
