Plot

A Yankee Stadium peanut vendor moves in with his father, a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan, who is fighting off cancer long enough in hopes of seeing the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the 1978 playoffs.

Reception

The novel received generally favorable reviews. Joseph Salvatore in the New York Times stated, "Duchovny hits an unexpected home run."[3] Micah Pollac, in the Washington Post, noted, "Duchovny’s tone makes the ride a pleasure. He dips into the waters of love, death, fatherhood, marriage and sex, but he doesn’t go too deep. You enjoy the swim without becoming a prune."[4]
