What happens? Joe Castle joins the Cubs in 73 and has the greatest start of any rookie ever.  Warren is a mediocre pitcher with a bad temper and their paths are destined to cross, and it destroys them both.
How long was this? 4.5 hours
Did I like this? Great story, well written and performed.  Back and forth between 2003 and 1973, telling the story.  Great characters.
