Jack Keefe Stories
by Ring Lardner
“He’s got a million-dollar arm and a five-cent head.”
Meet Jack Keefe, the hilariously self-unaware pitcher with a massive ego and a talent for getting into trouble both on the field and in the trenches of World War I. Told through his own unfiltered and often misguided letters, this classic satire captures the absurdity of professional sports and the charm of a truly legendary blockhead.
