Game 7: A Fictional Memoir
From the Barnes and Noble website:
It was September 30, 1971, and 11-year-old Jimmy couldn't believe his
watering eyes. The last inning of the last game his beloved losers—the
Washington Senators—would ever play got trashed by rowdy fans and then
the team skipped town. Jimmy thought his first love was lost forever.
However,
in 2005, America's favorite pastime suddenly returned to the Nation's
Capital. The new team wasn't any better than the old team, though. In
fact, they were worse. But James, now in his 50s, still got a job
working at Nationals Park (because getting paid to watch baseball was a
no-brainer.)
For Washington fans, 2019 seemed to be over before it
started: Eight weeks into the season, the Nats were 19-and-31 with a
slew of injuries. Then on May 24th, something improbable began to happen
on the field; and by October 1st something magical began to happen for
James ... and to Jimmy.
While every Nats fan already knows the
final outcome of this underdog World Series shocker, baseball lovers
from around the country will enjoy discovering the Fall Classic journey
that culminated in a season Washington DC will never forget.
