Henry Hits the Ball

By Thom Ring

Book Overview

HENRY HITS THE BALL is the story of Henry Brademeier, who can hit a baseball better than anyone who's ever played the game. And can't tie his own shoes. When major-league scout Lou Esposito discovers Henry taking cuts with a local high school team, he initiates a great adventure for the intellectually-challenged young man, who's never even been away from home. Henry's own aspirations don't extend much beyond getting more chances to hit a baseball. The young men he joins as a rookie in the Chicago White Sox organization want nothing less than a lifetime in the sport. Most find the success of that retarded kid difficult to accept. How these players and coaches deal with this strange young man as he unwittingly redefines the dark science of hitting a baseball is the story HENRY HITS THE BALL tells.
