But Grey was a fine college and minor league baseball player before he began his writing career, and wrote several baseball books for younger readers. The Red-Headed Outfield was a labor of love for Grey, coming several years after his most famous Western, Riders of the Purple Sage. As with most of his novels, the details and characters are thought to be based loosely on his own life and experience--in this case, his own baseball life, and that of his brother, Romer \"R.C.\" Grey, who also played professional baseball. The Red-Headed Outfield is a series of interlocking stories about kids playing baseball--the kind of book that's rarely written or published today, and we are the lesser for it. When it was originally published it was read by nearly every teen-age boy in the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTORIES IN THIS VOLUME:\u003cbr\u003eTHE REDHEADED OUTFIELD\u003cbr\u003eRed Gilbat was nutty--and his batting average was .371. Any student of baseball could weigh these two facts against each other and understand something of Delaney's trouble. It was not possible to camp on Red Gilbat's trail. the man was a jack-o'-lantern, a will-o'-the-wisp, a weird, long- legged, long-armed, red-haired illusive phantom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE RUBE\u003cbr\u003eTHE RUBE'S PENNANT\u003cbr\u003eTHE RUBE'S HONEYMOON\u003cbr\u003eTHE RUBE'S WATERLOO\u003cbr\u003eBREAKING INTO FAST COMPANY\u003cbr\u003eTHE KNOCKER\u003cbr\u003eTHE WINNING BALL\u003cbr\u003eFALSE COLORS\u003cbr\u003eTHE MANAGER OF MADDEN'S HILL\u003cbr\u003eOLD WELL-WELL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking for another good book?
