The Lost Lineup - Mark W Sasse - Bog

The creation myth, and baseball's lost men.Charles "Shoeshine" Henry travels to Iowa to search for the truth about a historical, mysterious baseball league. As he enters Davenport, he hits a man with his rental car. The man smashes his hood with a baseball bat. That man turns out to be Canadian author W.P. Kinsella. This sets off a series of bizarre encounters between Kinsella and Charles Henry as he tries to discover a lost lineup of forgotten ballplayers and Kinsella tries to save the game's integrity from a historical conspiracy.
The mythical gods of baseball are up to something!While Kinsella and Henry are locked in their struggle for the truth, Raymond Blythe mysteriously returns to Iowa with the gods of baseball, tasked with creating the perfect game prescribed by Aristotle in the Pythagorean Society's List of Opposites. To prove that baseball is that game, Raymond tells forgotten stories of his beloved former team, the Winasook Iron Horses. If Blythe and the gods can create the game in time, and if Kinsella and Charles can discover their way to the mystical field, perhaps a grand homecoming can occur, which will inaugurate baseball's first pitch.
