First time author, Barry S. Hirsch, introduces us to baseball hero Sherman Elbert and a cast of vivid supporting characters.

The strapping first baseman, who saves lives, in between hitting home runs, is a Paul Bunyanesque figure whose career begins with the minor league Sidewinders and culminates as a world Series hero for the Diamondbacks.

Along the way, he deals with gun-wielding, tobacco- chewing shoplifters, a sexy news anchorwoman/aerobics instructor, a Victoria’s Secret salesgirl turned Academy Award Winning actress, a teenage pickpocket, and a lovesick social worker.

He’s joined on the Diamondbacks by a phenom he first meets as a twelve year old boy Elbert rescues from a southern Arizona monsoon flood. This phenom, Robby Aaron, a catcher, is a rarity in baseball; he’s a practicing Jew.

Throw in a villainous weatherman named Rainwater, and a brutalizing drug dealer nicknamed “Muscles” and you have a narrative bound to grab you and hold your interest from its first to last game-winning home run.
