It’s 1958, the Giants have moved to San Francisco, and Snappy Drake, ex-minor league pitcher turned Seals Stadium usher, finds a dead body in his grandstand section on Opening Day. A humorous send-up of 1950s pulp thrillers, MMystery Ball ’58 combines intriguing mystery with Bay Area culture and classic baseball—and Giants fans especially will love it.
“Jeff Polman’s latest combines the Golden Era of Baseball with the Golden Era of Pulp to produce a page-turner and must read…” –Joe Sheehan, Sports Illustrated
“Smart and funny, foggy and frightening, Polman reminds us of something we’d somehow forgotten: fiction is fun.” –Scott Simkus, author of Outsider Baseball: The Weird World of Hardball on the Fringe
Jeff Polman will be reading from his latest historical baseball novel.
