Summary:
A beer-guzzling big league has-been--
A team of bungling half-pints--
Together they made baseball history...sort of.
It was the greatest challenge of Buttermaker's fading career--to whip this bruised and battered gang of "jerks. foreigners, sissies, nose-pickers, delinquents and clumsy little runts" into a winning team. Impossible? Maybe.
But a thirsty man can always use a few bucks. And he did have one secret weapon--Amanda, the spitball wizard!
