first edition Hardcover
1956 · New York
by HARRIS, Mark
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1956. Hardcover. Fine. First edition. Tiny owner's name front fly else fine, lacking the dustwrapper. A nice copy of an elusive baseball classic, reprising the character of Henry Wiggen from the author's novel *The Southpaw*. First dramatized for television with Paul Newman, later a film, scripted by Harris, with Robert De Niro and Michael Moriarty in the leads (and Danny Aiello in his debut).
