    About this ebook

    William Hickok Farrell stood on the top set of the dugout and surveyed the meticulously curried infield with its snowy bases in place. In a few moments, Will would take the mount to pitch the most important game of his Major League career--the first game of the World Series. Will could not remember a time when he had not played baseball. From the minute he could hold a ball, Big Bill, his dad and coach, had pushed him to be the best. Coming back from what could have been a career-ending injury, Will was now about to achieve his lifelong dream. He knew his dad would be watching.

      What The Eye Sees

      Feb 4, 2020

      Will Garfit is adept at creating something rather special from a blank canvas. Those not possessed of such a talent can only marvel at those who see beauty in something unprepossessing and then have the skill and determination to realise that vision.

      He was just a kid when I met him in the 1990s. Twelve, maybe 13. But it was obvious he was “ate up” with trapping. My first book, “The Mink Manual,” had been on the market a year or two, and I was there at the convention trying to sell more copies. T

      PITCHER

      God, I love this.

      Will Farrell surveyed the field, meticulously manicured and sparkling green under the lights. Snowy bases were secured and the base paths carefully curried to remove any stones. All was ready.

      In just over an hour, William Hickok Farrell, Number 22 for the Toledo Thunder, would take the mound to pitch the most important game of his major league career – the opening game of the World Series. To pitch in a World Series game had been the life-long dream of Will and his dad, Big Bill. In all his years in the majors, Will had never
