He's about to give up on baseball, but when Rube Tyler-an overweight, 40-something factory worker with a miraculous knuckleball-shows up in his parking lot the season starts to look brighter. Sheckard and the Westerns soon take a back seat to Tyler's pitching and it's clear that Rube's heading up the ladder. With the big league club contending for a playoff spot, all eyes are on the improbable pitcher as he gets promoted-but Tyler has made some sacrifices to get as far as he has, and ominous signs begin to show as the season nears its close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHank Owens grew up a Red Sox fan but married into a Cubs family, and he now lives in central Iowa, where he works on old buildings and writes about them.
