Author William Fredrick Cooper has experienced the loss of employment,
painful character assaults on his literary journey and the painful truth

the ages. In One Season (in Pinstripes), Cooper blends a sportswriter's
command of facts, real-life perspectives from a spiritual standpoint, the
inside knowledge of a historian and the passion of a believer in faith to
weave a sensational tale of satisfaction of a fan who can realize the
