The Shortstop

Description

Challenges and disappointments follow Chase Alloway, as he starts out on a bold quest to make a fortune through his baseball career.

Despite the challenges he faces, Chase Alloway is not someone who will give up easily, and The Short Stop beautifully follows his journey, acting as a genuine window into the life of a future star in the making.

Pearl Zane Grey, the author of The Short Stop is a writer like no other. His life was one of many dreams and aspirations, as his talent for baseball has led to a short minor league career, while his medical skills paid off, leading to a successful career as a dentist. What he is far better known for, however, is the fortune he amassed as one of the most prominent American literary authors.

It is said that Grey has written more than 9 million words during his career, and was one of the few truly successful – as well as wealthy – authors who became famous contributors to the quality of American literature. With more than 90 books, The Short Stop being one of his more successful ones, Grey achieved a significant amount of popularity, and even became the favorite author of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

An inspiring, well-written and overall beautiful story, The Short Stop will delight you whether you’re just looking for an enjoyable little book to read on a Sunday afternoon, or you’re ready to follow your own dreams aiming to become a famous and successful athlete.
