某王者
山田夫婦是職棒弱隊——仙醍國王隊的狂熱球迷，早在兒子還在肚裡時，便打定主意培養這孩子成為拯救仙醍國王隊的王牌打者，取「王之所求，求之為王」之意，將他命名為「王求」（橫寫＝「球」）。就這樣，注定來其領土巡一遭的國王於焉誕生。山田王求對棒球有著與生俱來的敏銳度，加上父母傾注全心的棒球菁英教育，原本應該是球場上最閃亮的一顆星，然而，人們面對王求的曠世才華以及王者必要之惡，心中湧現的只是恐懼、妒忌、憤怒與惶惶不安……
這是一部天才棒球球員的悲劇性傳記。王者的誕生時刻、幼兒時期、少年時期、青年時期，將帶給周圍人們什麼樣的影響、波瀾與救贖？

故事的重點可能有兩個─天才還是需要努力；還有，天才遭人妒。
對不起，只寫出這樣毫無吸引力的句子。但，這是要寫心得記錄時，從被36度夏日高溫熱到快融化的腦袋裡，唯一跳出來的兩句話。
仙醍市職棒國王隊的球迷山田夫婦，早在獨生子王求出生前，就準備要將兒子培養成挽救這個全國最爛球隊的打擊王。
這本書就是講這個被偏執父母製造、養成的棒球神童山田王求短短23歲人生的故事。期間他不斷練習、全力發揮驚人的天分，但時運不濟，父親為他殺人，挺他的老闆被人害死，最後的比賽被人用利刃刺中腹部。人生至高關鍵的榮耀，他竟然是在晴天朗朗下倒下品味到的。
所以，心得？
天才要努力，天才要運氣，但天才遭人妒，所以天才不一定會成功到最後，然後得到幸福。

I was not able to immerse myself in the story because I have no interest in baseball at all.
A little bit of fantasy is incorporated in the birth of the hero, which confused me more.
