About this series
Satan's Glove
In 1991 Eddie Romano, an undersized, unconfident kid, finds an antique baseball glove while on a treasure hunt of the ruins of the old Comiskey Park in Chicago.
Instantly that glove becomes his obsession. While sleeping at night he's transported to a dreary, decrepit ballpark where he learns the game of baseball from Billy, a skillful young ballplayer, who seems to be under the control of a dark, sinister figure who calls himself, "The Manager."
Miraculously, Eddie becomes a better ballplayer and is rewarded for anti-social behavior by having his skills improve. As his bad attitude causes him to lose more and more friends on his team, he starts receiving phone calls from legendary baseball players Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig who attempt to steer his behavior in the complete opposite direction.
Unbeknownst to Eddie, two factions of "angels" are waging a war for his soul. What is the price of glory? Eddie will soon find out. See below for an excerpt from "Kirkus Reviews."
"…Agnello's engaging novel, revised with Rae, showcases a morally complex young hero. For example, an enigmatic voice in Eddie's head leads him astray while the baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, via supernatural phone calls, offer useful advice. This spawns several relatable lessons that Eddie, with any luck, will digest, such as realizing his self-worth and following the golden rule. At the same time, a solid mystery runs throughout as readers gradually learn how Billy found himself in his terrible predicament. …There's likewise an understated spiritual theme, from periodic appearances by the omniscient "The Light" to speculation about who or what the chilling Manager is. Apt characterization boosts this enlightening sports tale about the allure and perils of fame."
