The Streak

Résumé du livre

Aging, divorced, and alone, Dorsey McWhorter signs a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Indians, placing him on the launching pad for an apparent career-ending tailspin. As Dorsey confronts his private demons, a simple lesson comes to mind once taught him by Walter Mobley, a former Negro Leagues player and his mentor. Dorsey embraces the lesson, remembering how it worked in the past, and experiences an epiphany. Dorsey suddenly becomes the hottest hitter in baseball, putting together a consecutive games hitting streak that rivals Joe DiMaggioas record of 56. In the process he rediscovers the joy of baseball and begins to find happiness off the field. The Streak isnat just a baseball novel, rather a study of one manas struggle to regain a life that didnat turn out as planned. Dorsey McWhorter is a memorable character readers will identify with and pull for because of his offbeat views and, foremost, his heart.
