Baseball and bailouts, as American as apple pie. Weaving today's
economic malaise with the powerful magic of a Cinderella baseball
team, Take Me Out to the Ballgame is a political baseball novel for
our times. The Buffalo Matadors haven't won a world championship in
37 years, a dying franchise. Until flamboyant Harry Witowsky, a
21st Century George Steinbrenner, buys them, vowing to do whatever
is necessary to change the fortunes of the "Door Mats." Victories
and attendance climb as Witowsky creates an Us versus Them
mentality at the Stadium. The rally cry of "Where's My Bailout"
replaces "Let's Go Mats." Buffalo's surprising surge resonates with
a nation afraid of losing jobs and homes, shaken by terrorist
threats, frightened for the future. The Matadors become America's
Team.
