Mick Foley "Scooter"

The Bronx was a borough in decay in the '60s and '70s, and its baseball team, the Yankees, was struggling during that time, too. It's on those tough streets that a young boy named Scooter is growing up, in Mick Foley's novel Scooter. And it's during a World Series game involving, ironically, the Miracle Mets that Scooter's life is changed forever.
