Off Season: A Novel of Love, Faith and Minor League Baseball

I admit that I had to put this one down and come back to it later because on the very first page something happened that I didn't want to happen. Once I pushed myself through it, though, it was wonderful to get reacquainted with all the memorable characters the author has created (channeled?) in and around the Beymer Buffalo baseball team. Definitely take yourself out to this ballgame.

Well at the outset I should admit to being a little biased here; Marsh is my little brother. But even so this is a good book. We follow the people we got to know in Year of the Buffalo for another great season of minor league play but there's a bit more this time. A couple of plot threads woven skillfully in between pitches.Marshall has a fine ear for dialog and includes some great quotes and quips. A very enjoyable read, as they say, you won't want to put it down!
