概要
 In Shortstop, we delve into the life of Zane Grey (Pearl Zane Gray), the renowned author born in 1872 in Zanesville, Ohio. Best known for his captivating western tales like Riders Of The Purple Sage, which has seen four film adaptations, the latest featuring Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, Greys passions extended beyond literature to baseball. A gifted athlete, he attended the University of Pennsylvania on a baseball scholarship, ultimately earning a degree in dentistry. His minor league baseball experience with a Wheeling, West Virginia team shaped his perspective. With an impressive 110 films inspired by his works, Greys legacy remains influential. He passed away from a heart attack in 1939 in Altadena, California. In The Shortstop (1909), Grey channels his baseball background to narrate the inspiring journey of seventeen-year-old Chase Alloway, who strives to achieve his dreams as a baseball player while lifting his family from poverty. As Chase faces challenges and setbacks, he discovers the true meaning of perseverance, friendship, and love. (summary by Rowdy Delaney)
