The Young Pitcher - Paperback

by Zane Grey (Author)

Zane Grey was an American author best known for his adventure novels and pulp fiction that glamorized the Old West. Grey became one of the first millionaire authors. He would spend part of the year traveling having adventures and the rest of the year using his experiences to create his fiction. Zane Grey has presented his readers with a nostalgic look at intercollegiate sports in the early 1900's. College freshman Ken Ward dreams of playing varsity baseball and gets a chance to prove himself with the toss of a potato. The story is fun to read. It is a must spring read as Spring Training progresses into summer major league ball.
