    About this series

    Connelly was desperate! His championship Minor League team was banged up and the team’s standing for the Pennant was falling off a cliff. Mullaney got spiked, Ashwell sprained his ankle and Hirsch broke a finger. Stringer, who had batted .371 and led the league the year before, struck a bad spell and could not hit a barn door handed to him. Pitching Ace Radbourne hurt his arm on a cold day and he could not get up his old speed. To make matters worse, Greg smashed an umpire and had to be laid off.

    Then came Hurtle, scouted from a bush league team. He had a straight ball, shoulder hi, level as a stretched string and fast. He had a jump ball, speediest thing Connelly had ever seen, and best of all, dearest to the managers heart, he had control. Connelly collared the manager and signed Hurtle on the spot. But disaster strikes at the first practice followed by the big game against the first place Providence team! Hurtle’s pitches went wild…. he was out of control! His new teammates booed him and shouted to him “YOU RUBE!” The fans from the bleachers yelled “scarecrow, pad his legs”. But when somebody called him “Pogie,” his face flamed red and then it happened! Read by Award Winning Narrator Kenneth Campbell.

      Zane Grey, one of the most famous Western writers of all-time loved Baseball, so it is no surprise that he would find a way to concoct a fictitious game in his own gut busting funny way. The Story is told by Award Winning Narrator Kenneth Campbell about 3 quirky outfielders known as Delaney's red-haired trio, composing the most remarkable outfield ever developed in minor league baseball. Red Gilbat, left field, was nutty--and a weird, long- legged, long-armed, red-haired illusive phantom. When the gong rang at the ball grounds to start play, he would be up to some shenanigan. Reddy Clammer, right field, was a grand-stand player--the kind all managers hated, and he was hitting .305. Reddie Ray, center field had been the intercollegiate champion in the sprints and a famous college ball player, and he was hitting .400. It was a beautiful sight to see him run. Tied in the race for the Pennant, this bizarre game could decide the championship…If only Delaney can keep them under control.

    Author

    Zane Grey

    American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.
