The best baseball novel of the season - ANY season. No fans are
more perpetually disappointed than those of the Chicago Cubs-a team
that has not won a World Series since 1908. And chief among the
forlorn is Jack Frost. From his assigned seat in the cafeteria at
the Bide Awhile Rest Home, Jack reads the sports pages every day
and checks out the standings. In the middle of June, the Cubs are
already thirteen and a half games out. Last place again-or rather,
still. Into this sea of depression drops one Clarence Beazely, a
new resident at the home and a baseball fan. But Beazely is not
your everyday fan, nor is he your everyday rest home resident. He
has extraordinary powers, and in a very friendly way he offers Jack
a tantalizing deal. Of course it comes at a cost, but if the price
seems a little steep, does it really matter as long as the Cubs
might have a chance to be... WORLD CHAMPIONS? "Mort makes a
fascinating read out of every subject he takes up." The Associated
Press. "If onetest of Mort's] skill is to keep the reader turning
pages after he guesses the ending, the acid test is to get a reader
hooked even though he knows what happens before he opens the book.
