...m.p.h. Gibson has come a long way since the day a Cardinal official confided: "Bob could throw a ball through the side of a barn, if he could only hit the barn." Now and then, of course, he still uncorks a wild one: two years ago, a stray Gibson fastball broke the shoulder of San Francisco's Jim Ray Hart, and in 56 innings this season, Bob has walked 26 men.

It would be a joke to call Playwright Hunter's dialogue comic, though an attractive young cast paced by a wry comedienne named April Shawhan pumps stray laughs into the saggy script...
...occasional drunkenness. At one point Ford is so enraged by the animal that he leaps into the truck and snorts: "I'm going to run over him-he'll never know what hit him." Later, wintering in the high country where they are hired to round up stray cattle, Ford muses moodily over whether he would rather see the roan made into soap or into dog food...
