Beskrivelse af Alibi Ike
Alibi Ike is a classic American sports novel written by Ring Lardner. The story follows Frank X. Farrell, a talented but eccentric baseball player who always has an excuse for his mistakes on the field. His teammates and fans affectionately call him ""Alibi Ike"" because of his tendency to blame everything except himself for his errors. Despite his flaws, Ike becomes a star player for the Chicago Cubs and even falls in love with a beautiful reporter named Dolly. However, his constant excuses and peculiar behavior eventually catch up with him, and he must face the consequences of his actions. Through Ike's humorous and endearing antics, Lardner explores themes of ego, accountability, and the role of sports in American culture. Alibi Ike is a timeless tale that will appeal to fans of baseball, comedy, and classic literature.They was together every mornin' and evenin' for the five days we was there. In the afternoons Ike played the grandest ball you ever see, hittin' and runnin' the bases like a fool and catchin' everything that stayed in the park. I told Cap, I says: You'd ought to keep the doll with us and he'd make Cobb's figures look sick.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
