"A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball???Whatever happened to Calico Joe?????? It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz.?In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen.? The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records.?Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever??In John Grisham?s new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it?s what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic."@en .

Bereits in seinen ersten Spielen für die Chicago Cubs schlägt er einen Home Run nach dem anderen. Die Fans sind begeistert, und es dauert nicht lange, bis das ganze Land den jungen Spieler frenetisch feiert. Joes Weg an die Spitze scheint vorgezeichnet zu sein, bis er eines Tages auf dem Spielfeld Warren Tracey gegenübersteht, einem mittelmässigen Werfer der New Yorker Mets, der Joes Erfolg nicht ertragen kann. Es beginnt ganz unspektakulär mit einer Zerrung im Oberschenkel. Der First Baseman der Chicago Cubs stürzt, und die Mannschaft braucht plötzlich einen freien Spieler, der die Position übernehmen kann. Damit kommt Joe Castle ins Spiel, ein einundzwanzigjähriger College-Spieler, der eine vielversprechende Saison hinter sich hat. Es dauert nicht lange, bis Castle seinen ersten Rekord für die Cubs aufstellt: drei Home Runs in einem Spiel. Noch glaubt jeder an Anfängerglück, doch Castle beweist brillant das Gegenteil. Er erzielt einen Home Run nach dem anderen und wird bald im ganzen Land als Jahrhunderttalent umjubelt. Bis er während eines Spiels gegen die New Yorker Mets auf Warren Tracey triff t, der einen Ball wirft, der Joe Castles Leben für immer verändern wird. Dreissig Jahre später macht sich Traceys Sohn auf den Weg, um Joe Castle um Vergebung für seinen Vater zu bitten. Eine schicksalhafte Reise, deren Ausgang ungewiss ist. John Grisham hat 24 Romane, ein Sachbuch, einen Erzählband und drei Jugendbücher veröffentlicht. Seine Bücher wurden in 38 Sprachen übersetzt. Er lebt in Virginia und Mississippi." . .
