A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball...Whatever happened to Calico Joe? It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz. In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever... In John Grisham's new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it's what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.

The Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate is a very good product. I am a senior woman and is struggling with low bone minerals and strength. I found this product to be very good for my bone health, helping to strengthen the bone and bone density as well it helps with blood pressure stability, and can help with maintaining heart health, and it works well as a supplement for constipation and other digestive issues.

Great Supplements. Good prices. Made in the USA
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I love this company for all my supplement needs. My only complaint about the magnesium supplement is that the capsules are pretty large. If you have a problem swallowing pills/capsules you may have a bit of trouble swallowing these. However, I’ve never had magnesium that was easy to swallow. Most of Pure Supplements are small and very easy to swallow. The magnesium is the exception. All magnesium pills are large.
