Using three narrators sounds good. 1998 was back when I still had a smidgen of interest in sports. I used to watch pro basketball a lots. Baseball was secondary, but still... I am sure the story would resonate with memories.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-49812239571522319892014-01-02T08:53:42.678-08:002014-01-02T08:53:42.678-08:00Col, this sounds a bit like the Robert Barnard nov...Col, this sounds a bit like the Robert Barnard novel, "A Stranger in the Family," I read, about "loss, family, abandonment, foster care, adoption" with the Nazis and the Sicilian mafia thrown in for good measure.

Baseball doesn't usually attract any attention over here, but I can dimly recall the McGwire fuss, less so Sosa.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-60455638126916339282014-01-02T04:22:37.721-08:002014-01-02T04:22:37.721-08:00Col - Thanks for sharing.
