{"product_id":"it-looked-like-for-ever-9780803272446","title":"It Looked Like For Ever","description":"Henry Wiggen, the bedraggled six-foot-three, 195-pound, left-handed pitcher for the New York Mammoths, returns to narrate another novel in his inimitable manner. Fans who loved him in Bang the Drum Slowly, The Southpaw, and A Ticket for a Seamstitch (all Bison Books) will cheer his comeback. Wiggen is now thirty-nine, a fading veteran with a floating fastball, a finicky prostate, and other intimations of mortality. Released from the Mammoths after nineteen years, the twenty-seventh winningest pitcher in baseball history (tied at 247 victories with Joseph J. Iron Man McGinnity and John Powell), Wiggen is not ready to hang up his glove. What impels Henry to pitch against Pate, to trek to California and as far as Japan? He still has a few seasons, a few innings left anyway. Is he principled or possessed? You'll have to decide for yourself as author Mark Harris plays out Wiggen's midlife crisis on familiar American turf: the baseball diamond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 5.57w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803272446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark Harris (1922-2007) is the author of a famous quartet of baseball novels--including \u003ci\u003eBang the Drum Slowly\u003c\/i\u003e--as well as \u003ci\u003eSomething about a Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpeed\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Talemaker\u003c\/i\u003e.
