Book Description

Publication Date: February 21, 2005

Major league baseball has a long and colorful history. Some teams seem almost blessed by the baseball gods. They win year after year, making the play-offs and competing regularly in the World Series. We all know these teams. They're the ones we love to hate. Other teams lose regularly and seldom make the play-offs. When they do have a winning season, something always seems to go wrong. Easy ground balls hit to Gold Glove fielders that would end an inning or kill a rally somehow manage to skip between the fielder's legs or bounce off their gloves. It almost seems like these teams are cursed. This story is about such a curse, the Billy Goat Curse. But this story is not about the curse as you may know it. One man, his family and a baseball team are intertwined in a tale of damnation.
