Beanball by Gene Fehler
A quick read on so many levels, Beanball
is not just a book for baseball fans. Told in free-verse poetry, it is really
easy to identify with the voices of the 28 different narrators as they revolve
around the story of Luke "Wizard" Wallace. Luke is on his way to
becoming a great baseball player, when tragedy strikes. Hit by a beanball, Luke
suffers a skull fracture that almost kills him and takes away the sight in his
left eye. As he and the people who are affected by the incident tell the story,
it is easy to identify with the emotions of all of the characters and see how
one split second can change so many lives
