It is a self-published book. I was directed to it from Bookbub. I love baseball and started as the SF Giants were in the playoffs and ultimately won the World Series. I could feel the excitement the characters had for their Pirate team. The back and forth narrative--present/past was at time hard to follow at times, however always caught up with the story, so it was not too distracting. Towards the end all sorts of other sub-plots came in to play and at times had myself wondering where they came from. I stuck with the story and the subplots did give me a better understanding of each of the characters in the story, but thought it came too late and was too rushed. I will only recommend to baseball lovers and people who grew up in Pittsburgh. Phillip Beard should keep writing and using the self publish route if that is all that is available, although I am expecting he will be discovered soon.
