The Art of Fielding Chapter 23 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • The Harpooners win, despite Henry's continued errors.
  • A scout tries to convince Henry not to worry about the errors: it's not about failure; it's about how to deal with it.
  • Mike gives him a pep talk too, "Get a new streak started" (23.25).
  • They win the next game, but Henry privately obsesses over his errors on the entire bus ride home.
