The only explanation for this pale wrinkled fighter having so many fans is that he has managed almost every team in the league. He captured me when he gave new birth to my Minnesota Twins...
...Early in the morning of the fifth night, I wake to the usual jingling of glass and metal, the main sound in a hospital. There's a pale gray light coming through the window and I listen to the early going-to-work traffic. It's the time when I usually have my most depressed thoughts.

Their concern was premature. True, the big pale-eyed detective sometimes sounds more like Hamlet than Hammett: "You spend too much time in the wings, watching your performance," a friend comments. But once McGee starts investigating a pair of murders, he forgets his complaints long enough to provide high and exuberant entertainment. Initially, he inherits half of a sinister motorcycle shop. The other 50% is owned by an Indian girl called Mits. A renegade biker leads Travis to a drugged producer filming balloon races. On location, he narrowly escapes a mob attack on the crew-seems the technicians had been...
