Aprašymas

She's on First is back! Full of riveting baseball action and captivating characters, this is the story of Linda Sunshine, first female major leaguer, shortstop for the never-in-first-place Chicago Eagles. It's also the story of Big Al Mowerinski, the owner who hired her for ulterior motives; Neal Vanderlin, the reporter who supports her; and the various teammates who want her on - or off - the Eagles. Published to stellar reviews in hardback in 1987 and paperback in 1988, full of warmth, humor, and tough sentiment, She's on First is a great read - as commanding as a fastball, as surprising as a curve, and as satisfying as a home run. Not only is this the story of a young woman coming of age, that young woman is a strong female sports hero who overcomes tremendous odds to do what she loves. Too long out of print, this novel is a welcome-back addition to the field of baseball literature - don't miss it!
