As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

W. P. Kinsella

Post by Malcolm »

Haven't read anything of his in a million years but I recall being partial to his work.
In the 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe," a farmer hears a voice telling him to build a baseball diamond in his cornfields. When he does, Shoeless Joe Jackson and other baseball players of yesteryear come to play. It became the blueprint for the 1989 Oscar-nominated movie, which starred Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta.

I read Shoeless Joe, and I tried to read the Iowa Baseball Confederacy... but no.
It's not me, it's someone else.
