Even here in Beantown, in an Adams house common room straining to hear John Sterling and Michael Kay's call over an Internet feed, temporarily abandoning Jackson Pollock and Barnett Newman for the exploits of another New York school, Well's quest for baseball legend shone through...

The book is like a huge scenario from some gifted, twisted lad--Oliver Stone, age 20--that the older Stone chopped down and published. But the two are eerie twins.
