Life and Love of a Knuckleballer

About the Book

Life and Love of a Knuckleballer follows the story of a pitcher chasing more than a game. Set in small towns, smoky dugouts, and the quiet corners of late-inning struggles, this tale blends America’s pastime with themes of love, loss, and redemption.

As the main character grapples with a career filled with unpredictability — both on the mound and in life — the story explores the metaphor behind the infamous knuckleball: how sometimes, the most uncertain path is the one that finds the plate. G.H. White delivers a heartfelt, nostalgic journey for fans of baseball and beautifully flawed characters.
