OK, these are the last (so far)!
Morris Hoffman's novel is so well written that it is difficult to think of it as fiction. He encapsulates his characters' emotions with prose that flows effortlessly. . . . Definitely worthy of the big screen. It's powerful and unforgettable."
-Carol Thompson, Readers' Favorites
"A book which, much to my surprise and delight, manages to combine both [Roger] Angell and [W.P.] Kinsella into one story. And then gives us something which is more than the sum of its parts. . . . A masterfully handled tale, not of baseball, but of a man dying of cancer told through the lens of baseball."
-Brian Casey, LibraryThing
". . . an emotional rollercoaster and unforgettable read."
-Amy's Bookshelf
". . . a heartfelt tribute to baseball, woven into a narrative that explores the profound struggles of disability, grief, trauma, and loss. The novel artfully blends the emotional weight of these themes with the exhilarating intensity of baseball, creating a compelling and multi-layered story."

"Pinch Hitting is unlike any book I've ever read. Once I got past the fact that a guy like Harold could get hits every at-bat, I bought in. It would make a great movie--uplifting but also tear-jerking. That's what good books (and movies) do, stir the emotions. There are so many interesting characters that I want to digest the story again."
-Bill Rogan, manager of the Bakersfield Train Robbers in the independent Pecos League
