(3) YA Mike expects to play center field until a new superb ballplayer appears. But is Oscar over-age? An illegal immigrant? And what are the coach's motivations in determining disciplinary actions? What's his grudge against the Cyber Club? Like a well-rounded ballplayer, Lipsyte shows versatility, focus, and virtuosity in writing about hero-worship, compromise, integrity, and emotion--seemingly without breaking a sweat.
