Much like author James T. Farrell, Mickey Donovanthe main character in Dreaming Baseballgrew up on the South Side of Chicago dreaming of becoming a star for the White Sox. Donovans childhood dream came true in 1919 when he made the team. Despite the fact that he spent most of his rookie season on the bench, it was truly a magical yearuntil the Black Sox scandal turned it into a nightmare.James T. Farrell dreamed of one day playing second base for his hometown Chicago White Sox, but, failing that, he became one of Americas great novelists. Farrell loved the game of baseball with the same passion he brought to the celebrated Studs Lonigan trilogy.In the 1950s Farrell signed an agreement with A. S. Barnes to write two baseball books. The first book published from this deal was My Baseball Diary, in 1957, still considered one of the very best fan books on baseball. The second baseball book was to be a novel about the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal. Though several draft s of the novel were written, it remained unpublisheduntil now. Editors Ron Briley, Margaret Davidson, and James Barbour worked with the various manuscript drafts to see Farrells vision to print as Dreaming Baseball.Farrells Donovan speaks, feels, and dreams for all baseball fans in this wonderfully rich novel about our favorite American pastime.
