Description
Like W.P. Kinsella's classic Shoeless Joe, Prospect is a novel steeped in the lore and mythology of baseball. Pete Estey is a lifelong baseball scout who has benched himself and retreated to a retirement home. But when an attendant at the home presents him with one last prospect for the major leagues, Pete discovers it to be the most important of his career. "Perceptive and engaging" (Los Angeles Times), Prospect tells the story of an unlikely kinship and an even more unlikely success and explores the boundless possibilities for rebirth both on and off the field.
