It was 1982 when Bill Lee was famously booted from the Montreal Expos after he went AWOL in protest of another players mistreatment by management. His reputation for antics both on and off the field guaranteed that no other club would pick him up. The Ace from Space had landed on professional baseballs blacklist, and so it was that one of the most popular majorleague pitchers of our day was fated to pack his bags and wander the globe searching for a ball game.Have Glove, Will Travel is the chronicle of an amazing odyssey that began more than twenty years ago and continues today. Unable to live without baseball, Lee went anywhere he could find a game, beginning in the dank and dreary locker room of a Canadian hockey team that later became a softball team. We follow him around the world as he competes in pickup games, town tournaments, senior leagues, and fantasy camps, barnstorming like a modern Satchel Paige around the United States, South America, China, Cuba, Russia, and every province in Canada.At the heart of this story are the rollicking, colorful characters Lee meets during his travels, and the mishaps that befall him whether hes sober or stoned. Theres the eccentric Latin pitching master Lee plays with in Cuba, who once struck out Ernest Hemingway. And a hilarious story that takes place in the backwoods of a British Columbia timber town, where Lee and HallofFamer Ferguson Jenkins go fishing and end up being chased back to their pickup truck by a 450pound black bear.Have Glove, Will Travel is so much more than the average baseball book. Lees humor, keen eye for detail, and extraordinary pitching intellect are always on display, but in the end this book is a love story about a middleaged maverick who refused to stop pursuing his passion for a boys game long after the grownups told him he couldnt play on their team anymore. Readers who loved Lees bestselling The Wrong Stuff, also written with Richard Lally, will find the long wait for this rich and wonderful sequel well worth it. Those who havent yet encountered the literary Bill Lee have a great treat in store.
