From the publisher

A nostalgic story about a Minnesota boy's search for belonging in a complex world. "In this wise, witty story set in West St. Paul in the '60s, a kid named Harlan navigates life by focusing on the Twins baseball team, a comic metaphor for hope. Sport is fat with small pleasures. It is a homer and a gift to all of us grownup knothole-game kids. There's a lot to love in this quiet little book, most of all its subtle wisdom about establishing individuality and finding joy amid chaos--in short, aboutgrowing up."

First line

On the red baseball jersey I wore the summer between seventh and eight grade, it said WEST SAINT PAUL across the front, and on the back, in the same cheap white iron-on lettering, it read GUS LUND across the shoulders, with a big number 13 in the middle, and on the bottom, OIL.
