The Off-Season Blues




Description 1999, 256 pages, U.S.
Author: Tom T. Hitman
Softcover

Tommy Bruno, the aging star center fielder for the Seaside Top Socks, returns for spring training smarting from an ugly divorce and furious to discover he has been paired as roommate with hot-dog rookie Tim Weare. It isnt long, however, before Bruno discovers the advantages of rooming with a man in his sexual prime.
Soon the rest of the Top Socks get in on the action, including manager Mitch Hudson, star pitcher Roger Twain, hirsute catcher Damon Thorne, Latin sensation Hector Valenze, and the teams 18-year-old Italian batboy, Ricky Catalano
The season is full of surprises, both on and off the field, but in the end of the Top Socks` teamwork stands them in good stead, pushing them into the play-offs and a World Series showdown against their arch rivals, the Philadelphia Pilots -- whose hated star pitcher has been sleeping with Bruno`s ex-wife.


REVIEWER: Gay'n Sweaty

OMFG. Like... don't read this on the subway because you'll get a boner and it'll be so embarassing. I was looking for baseball literature so that I could have something to bond with my dad over. But I found this instead. Oops! I'M SO NAUGHTY!
