| Publisher Description: One of a handful of Jews in the WASPish enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, and still under 100 pounds in his junior year of high school, Tabb was routinely kicked around by the other kids--one blind, another one with one arm--as well as his father. Playing Right Field refers to an early experience of the author and his brother, Lloyd, who played Little League together; they were forced to share one team t-shirt between the both of this because his father the multi-millionaire was too cheap to buy one of each of them. George and Lloyd chose right field because hardly any balls ever got hit out there and they thought it would be safe and provide them with lots of space. The book will include many stories, all true - and some very hard to believe. Each story has a strong sense of morality, and the book will be fun as well as very educational. Using the idea of right field, the book will trace Tabb's growing sense of isolation and rebellion from birth through near the end of tenth grade. |
