Book Description
================
A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, 
set in the world of Major League Baseball... 

Whatever happened to Calico Joe? 

It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for 
the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and 
headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the 
Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, 
so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called 
up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player 
in AA and creating a buzz. 

In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the 
greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas 
dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping 
his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. 

Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, 
including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing 
Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, 
Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then 
Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever... 

In John Grisham's new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it's what 
happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.
