A durable, top-flight pitcher for the Cubs for 16 seasons, Root had at least 10 wins in ten different seasons, with a top mark of 26-15 in 1927.
Yet he was dogged during his later years by the tale that Babe Ruth "called his shot" when he homered off Root in the 1932 WS.
The leathery, tobacco-squirting Root denied the claim, stating he'd have decked Ruth with a fastball had the Babe really gestured that he'd hit the next pitch out of the park.

Charlie encounters the same struggles that many kids face in high school--how to make friends, the intensity of a crush, family tensions, a first relationship, exploring sexuality, experimenting with drugs--but he must also deal with his best friend's recent suicide.
Charlie is always completely honest, whether he is describing his first "beer" party where he witnessed a girl being raped by her boyfriend, or explaining masturbation and his excitement for this newfound "activity." Charlie is a wallflower who observes people and feels very deeply for the experiences occuring around him.
Charlie, at one point in the story, describes how it feels when, one day, you realize that millions of others have read your favorite books and listened to our favorite songs, and suddenly, they are no longer the perfect, lovely, infinite thing to you.

Whatever the message, Ruth jumped on Root's next offering, sending a tremendous smash over the center field wall and farther than any home run had ever been hit at Wrigley Field.
