BeanBall by Gene Fehler

         BeanBall is a series of poems that capture the extraordinarily rare journey of Luke "Wizard" Wallace. When He goes to bat at the last inning of his baseball game against rival team from Compton. The Oak Grove fans had never seen what the witnessed happen to Luke. After Kyle Dawkins makes the pitch, it goes out of control and lands Luke in the hospital. Now as Luke is desperately trying to fight for his chance at ever playing baseball again, you begin to follow teachers, family, and friends of Luke. You watch from all points as Luke Wallace survives a fatal accident and overcomes many surgeries.  You grip the story from 25 angles and each of them with emotion and feeling behind each one.
