In additions, deletions and corrections to Baseball By The
Books, a History and Complete Bibliography of Baseball
Fiction (1991), Andy McCue provided the following
information:
KANTOR, HAL. The Big Stopper. New York: Popular Library,
1982. Paper. 222pp. Adult mystery Ace Cub pitcher Kirby
Lincoln duels the mob, and wins, in 1920s Chicago. He needs
his best fastball to win the big duel, but there is no game
action.
Has anyone read this? I collect baseball fiction and have
never come across a copy.
