Joe Castle is a AA player who by a stroke of luck gets called up to the majors in 1973 - to the Cubs. He homers in his first three major league at bats and takes the country by storm - the Cubs actually think they have a chance to make it to the World Series - now you know this is fiction. Warren Tracey is a pitcher for the Mets and is on his way out and is known for hitting the batters. During the first at bat when these two finally meet, Joe homers. The next at bat, Warren throws a fast ball at Joe's head and Joe's career is over. Warren's son, Paul is at the game and knows his father did it on purpose. 30 years later, Warren is dying and Paul wants him to apologize to Joe and finally admit the truth. A very good story
