Read and Feed - The book to be read and discussed at the April 25 Read and Feed is Calico Joe by John Grisham. This novel was inspired by the 1920's baseball tragedy of New York Yankee Carl Mays pitch to the Cleveland Indian's Ray Chapman that hit and killed him. Grisham's Calico Joe is about a picther in 1973 who throws a near fatal "beanball" pitch and it's aftermath 30 years later. The Chicago Sun Times calls this novel a heartwarming read.
