The Last Pitch

 


The Last Pitch:

Face whatever comes your way


Remember the game of baseball in the 1960s and 1970s? Major League pitchers routinely threw 300 innings a year. High school pitchers threw ridiculous numbers of innings too. There were no radar guns, no free agents, and the World Series was over before the leaves fell off the trees in Northern Illinois.

The main character Carl Borowski tells how he grew up in a suburb of Chicago, became engulfed in baseball culture at an early age and developed into a high school All-State pitcher. Overuse in high school, bad personal baseball decisions led to many challenges, and unfortunate consequences in his career.

Carl shares his baseball days from the schoolyard games with his neighborhood friends, his high school career, his interaction with college recruiters, and even professional scouts all the way up until his last pitch in the Men’s Senior Baseball League. The family adventure continues with both sons in the next two books. This three-book series chronicles a family’s journey through baseball.
