The Natural by Bernard Malamud

This is a book about heroism - of sorts. Roy Hobbs has an immense natural gift for playing baseball. He could become one of the great ones of the game, a player unmatched in his time - a hero. But his first hard-won big chance ends violently, at the hands of a crazy girl, and then it is years before he gets another shot. At last, in a few short seasons, or never, he must achieve the towering reputation that he feels is his right. This 1987 Penguin Paperback is in fair condition. Ex library with stamps, tape markings and envelopes. Pen marking on front cover.
