This was an absolutely lovely mid century New York romance. I did not want it to end. I want my own Eddie. Mark was a grieving man who gradually realized he needed Eddie in his life. Eddie is a baseball player, famous and talented who is struggling in a slump since unexpectedly being traded to the New York team.
Mark is a partially retired writer for a New York newspaper . The New York paper offers/gives Mark the assignment of shadowing Eddie and documenting his new life with the New York baseball team.
Mark is not a sports writer, and he balks at first, But slowly realizes that meeting Eddie, getting to know him and writing this article are giving him back an interest he had lost.
The mid century New York atmosphere was excellently played, and the slow burn romance was lovely .
Of course, Joel Leslie, as the narrator never disappoints .
