The Dog Sox Audiobook

Audiobook/Fiction

An Edgar Award Finalist, Hill’s book tells the story of a minor league team in California which has an unnaturally talented pitcher with a near-fatal flaw. This a team of ‘you gotta love ‘ems’ who learn that pulling together as a team gives them a strength they lacked as separate players, each hoping to make it to the Show on his own. It’s also a team owned by a beautiful woman who loves baseball.

“It is a new season of America’s favorite pastime and time to enjoy the great baseball book The Dog Sox. To show his love for his girlfriend Ava Belle, Ray Adams buys a baseball team and gives it to her. The players are an interesting group of oddball characters who come together to play the game. You have a pitcher whose drunk father wants to represent him as agent, a 70-year-old Jewish manager, a teacher who is a very good pitcher and other memorable teammates that make The Dog Sox a laugh out loud wonderful tribute to the sport.” -Gary Rosen, Midwest Book Review

Description

Fiction. Ray Adams buys his girlfriend, beautiful Ava Belle, a baseball team for her birthday. Ray’s gift is a broken-down semi-pro team in California’s Central Valley, with a 70-year-old Jewish manager, who assembles a rag-tag lineup of sheetrockers, farm laborers, wanna-be big leaguers, and a freak submarine pitcher, Billy Collins.Rough him up? Pay him off? See that he has an “accident”? With him around, the team and Billy are simply not functional.
