Excerpt from There's No Base Like Home I want you to come out to the park with me for about a hour, he interrupts. I have got hold of a bird which I can buy cheap from Buffalo and I gotta get him quick if at all. I wanna short flash at him at work - he's gotta be back there to - night. Of course, I won't have much time to see whether he's worth a cigar coupon or a fistful of diamonds, but if he shows me anything at all, I'm gonna take him along. He's a infielder by nationality and maybe I can put him on second next year instead of Watson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
