review 1: Any good novel has to be built around a single premise. The premise should be able to be summed up in one sentence. What if a man was killed by a pitch (ala Ray Chapman) and the pitcher was charged with murder? Very interesting. Now you have your high concept if you will. And that is the premise of a Pitch For Justice. Harold Kasselman integrates the legal with the baseball in the seamless style of any well written bestseller. He does have the legal knowledge but he also has the knowledge of the game and sticks to the premise of the novel. Can a man murder another man with a baseball pitch? Less is more. I have read Scott Turow. I have heard him speak and we traded emails a few times. And I have read Bang the Drum Slowly. You can tell Harold Kasselman loves the law and bas... moreeball. A Pitch for Justice is a seamless integration that I could not put down. The Pitcher
review 2: I love baseball & I love a good crime drama. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to its potential. The characters were not fully developed, ESPECIALLY the female characters. The women were either psychos, filler, or bimbos. In the first 1/3 of the book, the writer introduced a female character, then just dropped her. It was odd. Also, the writing sounded like someone from my dad's generation wrote it. It was really awkward & phony at times. Could have been a contender, but fell flat...especially at the end. less

A realistic and plausible scenario about MLB, hopefully one that never comes to fruition.
