Mystery ball '58

the long version

It's 1958, the Giants have just moved to San Francisco, and Snappy Drake, ex-minor league pitcher turned Seals Stadium usher, has found a dead body in his grandstand section on Opening Day. With someone apparently out to frame him, Snappy probes deeper and deeper into the mystery, encountering shady local officials, a smart, fetching female reporter from L.A., and a cast of Bay Area characters who just may or may not be involved. As the pennant battles tighten, the race to stop a madman is running out of time.
