The Adventures of Chip Doolin - possible giveaway!

The Adventures of Chip Doolin by Neal Bogosian is a must read for young adults and baseball fans alike!! This paperback craftfully wraps you in the adventures of Chip Doolin, a farmer boy who evolves into famous baseball player.


Here's a description from Amazon.com:

Before Babe Ruth, there was Chip Doolin! Set in 1909, in an America that was spirited and thriving, and when opportunity and virtue were still abundant, The Adventures of Chip Doolin are the improbable and often humorous tales of a farm boy from Somewhere, Virginia, who has few life tools and an abundance of raw talent, who becomes the starting first baseman for the 1909 Detroit Tigers. It soon becomes apparent that the fate of Chip Doolin is a blessed one - heroics and home runs are part of his destiny. The stories chronicle Chip's subsequent adventures on and off the baseball diamond, including his courtship with "Eleanor Ferris, the blue-eyed daughter of Mr. Ferris, whom Chip had fancied ever since he knew about the bond between a man and a woman." Chip's fantastic follies are often amongst some of baseball's most prominent and colorful luminaries including Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Rube Waddell and Hughie Jennings, with cameo appearances from the likes of famed boxer John L. Sullivan, President Willam Howard Taft, and famed writer, Ring Lardner. The stories are sure to warm the nostalgic hearts of baseball fans young and old.
