Chuckin' Chuck: The Astonishing Tale of Charles Manson Pitching in the Major Leagues
Desensitized. That's what all sports fans have become to the plethora of criminal-athletes that pervade our sports culture. So what will the bombastic owner of the New England Mavericks do when he learns that America's most notorious inmate has developed a literally unhittable pitch while playing for his prison baseball team? A sportsworld littered with bad boys who belong on Cops rather than on a box of Wheaties is deplorable. But when a man can throw the ball 81 times per game and not one pitch is so much as foul-tipped...what's not to love?

Who would've thought? A very funny book about Charles Manson getting out of prison and pitching in major league baseball! A farfetched story? Maybe. But ultimately Seid pulls it off. First off, I'm no baseball fan and I know very little about baseball. But that didn't alter my ability to fully enjoy the story. The characters are three dimensional and fully believable, and it's entertaining. I was surprised that this is Seid's first novel and I will definitely be looking forward to his next book. I do hope that Manson has read the book.
