Description

"Joe Columbus is an ordinary man: schoolteacher, husband, father-to-be. His younger brother, CJ, however, is anything but ordinary: the Chicago Cubs' star third baseman, a baseball hero, destined for greatness.". "In a voice both humorous and plaintive, Joe tells of his brother's remarkable ascent from the sand lots of their southern California childhood to the ivy-walled shrine of Wrigley Field, in an effort to explain not only CJ's apparently charmed life but also his own missteps and failures - his collapsing marriage, his envy and cowardice, and a rift between brothers that is healed only by tragedy."--BOOK JACKET.
