Description:Curve Ball is a novel about Tom Perry and baseball in the 1950s. Tom grew up in the family of Ken and Clara Perry in Brook Creek, Michigan, located a few miles south of Charlevoix. An exceptional ballplayer in high school and college, Tom signed with the Milwaukee Braves after graduating from Michigan State in June 1955. Working his way up the minors, he reached the Braves in August 1957. The sizzling bats of Perry and "Hurricane" Bob Hazle sparked Milwaukee's pennant drive. Led by stars like Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Lew Burdette, and Warren Spahn, the Braves won the World Series over the Yankees. After his hot start in 1957, Perry is traded to the Cubs in 1958. Partly due to a knee injury, Tom learns playing major league baseball is not always great and glorious. Overcoming injuries and his divorce in 1958, Tom must choose between the game he loves and a career in high school teaching and coaching.
