This large and lavishly illustrated publication is the first hardbound, career-long survey on California painter Hank Pitcher. Pitcher has taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara in the College of Creative Studies for almost fifty years. He is widely recognized as one of the most important and serious painters to capture surf and beach culture. As a young man, he designed the logo and named the company for Mr. Zog's Sex Wax - an internationally known product for surfboards. A student of Paul Wonner and a colleague of Charles Garabedian, Paul Georges, Gregory Botts, and John McCracken among many others, Pitcher has a unique claim as a student of both East and West Coast schools of post-abstract figurative painting.

John Roberts was the best baseball player of generation, but he never went professional. After not playing for 16 years he sneaks in the spring training and earns a place on the Indianapolis Comets. He lands a contract where he is allowed to choose which games he pitches until he looses. He starts with the first game of the season. However, in mid-April team management discovers John dark secret, one that will only allow possibly the most talented player of all time to play for one season. John is helped in his quest by old friends from high school and new ones in the form of the Indianapolis Comets players, coaches, and owner. He plays the entire summer, leading his team into the playoffs even as the team management fights to keep his secret hidden from the league and the press. In October, John gathers what strength he has left to face the World Series and the terrible exposure of his secret.
