What happens when a young baseball player, out of necessity, learns to pitch both right- and left-handed? This novelette explores his techniques and the challenges that erupt on and off the field
when he becomes “ambi-disastrous” on the mound. Although written with a younger readership in mind, baseball fans of all ages find The Switch Pitcher thrilling, as they do with the five bonus short stories.
Aldo Vidali, an 84-year-old collaborator of one of cinema's greatest directors: Federico Fellini, wrote a review of the first edition of The Switch Pitcher, and urged it be made into a motion picture. “Children, parents, and grandparents would flock to see such a movie,” he said.
Among the bonus features is a short story about a sunflower living in a keyhole garden that literally “comes to life.”
The second short story is a non-fiction account of an encounter with a UFO wherein the subject about thirty years later recounts details of the event while under hypnosis.
In the feature entitled ROD & REEL SNAPSHOTS, the author recounts unique fishing expeditions.
Another non-fiction entry is about growing up with a magical teddy bear named Fleddie Peddie.
The fifth short story, entitled PERIPHERAL ACCELERATON, is about an elderly man who is a perfectionist. He shares his extreme attention to detail with a friend, proving, for instance, the idea that it is extremely intelligent people who become carsick. He also recounts what it is truly like to be a time traveler.
