A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball...Whatever happened to Calico Joe? It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz. In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever... In John Grisham's new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it's what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.

Decent install power strip
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
I really like this search strip as I installed the inside of my RV the only problem I have with it is if you were using bulky transformer style plugs like that of a iMac laptop, charger or other big transformers, you will not be able to use the USB outlets in the center and I don’t know if that’s by design to limit current flow, but it sucks.

An absolute must for countertops used as workstations.
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
These were the best thing I did when we had to remodel and I added a large built in countertop. They are made well, and easy to install! They are very versatile since they are designed with both USB-A and USB-C ports along with the standard 110V plugs. I use these with my 3-D printers, laser engravers, computers, printers, and even a few coffee pots!
