B League Champs

<p>Using baseball and Little League as a frame <em>B League Champs</em> evokes a freer time of growing up in the Sixties and is a heartfelt but unsentimental reckoning of one boy's coming of age. The finest novel about the intersection of life and baseball since Malamud plied his craft. <em>B League Champs </em>is a lyrical and at the same time brightly tragic poem of Chicago reminiscent of Dybek and Algren. --David C. Schmittgens Editor the 50th anniversary edition of Nelson Algren's <em>Chicago: City on the Make.</em> <em>B League </em>is a must read for anyone interested in the panorama of Chicago authors and makes a great beach read.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
