Beskrivelse af Wingo
When 116-year old Rube Wingo reflects back on the start of his life, he remembers a dirt-poor Southern boy who lived baseball and dreamed of future diamond greatness. His positivity landed him in the game all right, but not in the role he envisioned. When happenstance then brings Rube to the Polo Grounds in New York City in 1922, he jumps at the chance for a piece of the big leagues. One of his first assignments is the daunting task of keeping the great Babe Ruth on the straight and narrow.
Outside the confines of rowdy, odiferous locker rooms, Rube and his friends make the world their oyster despite Prohibition and moth-eaten pocketbooks. As he valiantly tries to hang on to his dream job while simultaneously coming to grips with the broad injustice of America, Rube struggles to find his own place beyond the game he loves.
From consummate history storyteller Mike Vance comes a captivating and hysterical romp through an American century of life, love, race and baseball.
