Cuban Prospect Paperback - 2004

by Brian Shawver

With disarming intensity, humor, and great heart, Brian Shawver tells the story of Dennis Birch, a washed up thirty-four-year-old failed ball player turned minor league scout whose field of dreams has always been baseball. No longer a candidate for baseball greatness himself if he ever was Dennis accepts the challenge of smuggling a hot left-handed pitcher out of Cuba in the hope that promoting the greatness of another will somehow confer a small, manageable portion of it on himself. A novel of last-ditch hopes, destiny's curve balls, and quiet redemption, The Cuban Prospect projects a vision at once humorous, harrowing, and affirming.

Media reviews

'Deeply felt and compelling... informed with a moral passion not so often found today. The game of baseball is convincingly used as the background for games of a more terrible kind.' (Barry Unsworth)'A nervy debut... of madcap and morality... a Heart of Darkness' set in the bowels of the major-league farm system.' (Chicago Tribune)
