The Return of Johnny Dugan

By Dan Price

The old Rasmussen Stadium at Third Street and Main was no longer in use. The once thriving baseball stadium had a padlock on the front gate. The economy in the small college town of Pearl City had collapsed seven years ago. Many of its residents had up and vanished in search of high-paying jobs elsewhere. Baseball had vanished as well. The local residents missed the crack of the bat, the sound of a blazing fastball pounding into the catcher's mitt and the smell of the infield grass. They missed the hot dogs, the popcorn and the Friday night baseball games. They missed the cheering and the roar of the crowd when a ball was belted out of the park. Johnny Dugan, the mysterious stranger in town, would change all that. The Return of Johnny Dugan is a book of fiction for baseball fans -- young and old. Across this great country of ours, baseball fans have witnessed the likes of the McPherson brothers -- Boomer, Bugs, Bumper and Booker T. So pull up a seat in the bleachers and follow along as Johnny Dugan and the Pearl City Pirates ignite a town and its fans.
