Цитаты из книги Blockade Billy

Забавная штука — старение. Когда ты молод, люди всегда готовы слушать твои истории, особенно, если ты был в профессиональном бейсболе. Но когда ты молод, у тебя нет времени рассказывать их. А теперь в моём распоряжении всё время мира, но никому, похоже, нет дела до тех давних дней.

I think Blakely got jealous, I think his old man got jealous, and I think maybe Mom did, too. Maybe especially Mom, because sports moms can be wolverines. I think maybe they pulled a few strings to keep Katsanis from playing locally, and from showing up for the Davenport Cocksuckers’ workouts. They could have done it, because they were a wealthy, long-established Iowa family and Gene Katsanis was a nobody who grew up in an orphan home that was probably hell on earth.
