Frank’s path to redemption leads him on a journey back to where his life changed forever, to visit his family, his high school coach, and his brother. Through reconnection and reconciliation with those also deeply affected by the devastating event of Frank’s youth, he finds peace and his place in the world both in and outside the game.The Fireballer is a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America’s favorite pastime.

I enjoyed this book so much! The story is very engaging and Frank Ryder is so relatable. You don’t have to be into baseball, or any other sport, to really enjoy this book. Baseball is just the vehicle for the story, and a good one at that.I don’t follow sports, and it’s been years since I’ve been to a baseball game. So if you’re not into sports, this book is still very enjoyable. I have some first hand experience with baseball and that brought this book a little closer to home for me. My brother played little league for a few years, and our dad coached. I’ve spent a lot of time in the dugout as scorekeeper and really loved those kids. I lived in Apopka when we went against Japan in the Little League World Series. We have family in Vero Beach and saw the Dodger’s spring training games. Baseball is the only sport I ever wanted to play, but I was a girl and softball wasn’t the same, so I watched from the stands and the dugouts and adopted “There’s no crying in baseball” as my mantra.I found myself rereading sections because I wanted to savor them. The scenes were so vivid that I could see the dust on the field, feel the humidity in the air, hear the crack of the bat as it connected with the ball, and feel the bass sound of the ball as it thwapped against the catcher’s mitt. It was similar to listening to a sportscaster on the radio who can call the play by plays so vividly that you can see the game in your head. It wasn’t a bunch of statistics and numbers that don’t mean anything to the average person. It’s a story of determination, perseverance, family, forgiveness, dedication and love. It goes beyond baseball and that’s what makes this book truly special. The Fireballer: A Novel Online ePUB eBook epub I'm a baseball purist--I grew up watching the National League, and really hate the designated hitter. My favorite game to watch is a pitchers' duel that ends in a 1-0 or 2-1 final score.With that said, I loved this book. It talked about the "unwritten rules" and gave several not-so-subtle jabs to recent rule changes intended to "speed up the game" and "make it more exciting" for the casual observer (i.e., bring them in to spend more $ at the park).I won't spoil the ending for those who have not yet read this, other than to say that I found it to be disappointing (as a baseball fan) but very touching (as a human being) at the same time. PDF The Fireballer: A Novel pdf online Baseball is America’s beloved game, but for one pitcher, a young pitcher with a lightning fast arm, one pitch alters his life, his very identity, forever. Because one pitch, kills a young boy, and leaves the pitcher, and his brother, the catcher, and their family as broken as the family of a youth who only ever really dreamed of stars, space, and science.This story delivers sports insider details from behind the team, within managerial negotiations, and throughout press demands. The marketing of baseball as revenue- increasing and community-inspiring complicates and alters the game.But what makes this story so readable is the protagonist’s journey, and what a journey he makes. Great read! ePUB The Fireballer: A Novel sito di download The author clearly has a thorough knowledge of baseball and a deep love of the sport. He asks an intriguing question: what if a pitcher comes along who throws so fast that he’s basically unhittable? What effect would that have on the game? And what effect would it have on the pitcher?This is one of the best baseball books to come along in years. I highly recommend it. Download [PDF] The Fireballer: A Novel I liked this book because it tells the real story of what I think a pro player goes through in their career.I would recommend this book to any baseball fan and or player to illustrate the true struggles of a players career. It's a game and nobody should ever be hurt by an intentional pitch.
