About This Item

Halcottsville, NY: Breakaway Books , 2014 Breakaway Books, New York. 2014. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: As New. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 224 pp 8vo. On the final day of the 1963 major-league baseball season, Houston Colt .45s teen sensation John Paciorek, in his one and only major league game, went 3 for 3, had 3 RBIs, scored 4 times, and fielded 4 balls in the outfield. From this start, a back injury put him back in the minors and from there he departed from baseball forever after one perfect game in the bigs. This book tells his story from childhood in Detroit, to high school, to one season in the minors, his day in the bigs, and his life afterward. Healthy, what could he have become? A clean very presentable copy.
