Description
This lighthearted collection of short stories from author Scott Young taps in to Canada’s love of sports—from major-league baseball to the last play in football, from hockey to hunting in the great Canadian outdoors. Through stories like “The Pinch Hitter” and “Maloney’s Last Stand,” Scott demonstrates how sports touch our lives and make up the stuff of our dreams.
Showcasing the work of a writer at the height of his talent, The Pinch Hitter and Other Sports Stories features such heartwarming stories as “The Bean Ball,” “Dangerous Ice,” and “Goodbye Grandpa.”
