116-year old Rube Wingo recounts another half century of his remarkable life, beginning with a personal tragedy that compels him to leave New York City to pick up the pieces in Cincinnati. His friendships, new and rekindled, and his ill-fitting attempts to again find love surround his behind-the-scenes roles with baseball's oldest franchise and one of its newest ones - all amidst a backdrop of seismic changes in the game and in American society. At an age when most people are considering retirement, Rube must reinvent himself one last time, starting with deciding what is most important in his life. After decades of following his dreams, he's forced to face hard truths about himself and the game which he so dearly loves. From consummate history storyteller Mike Vance comes the conclusion of Wingo's captivating and hysterical romp through an American century of life, love, race and baseball.
