The Art of Fielding Chapter 43 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Schwartz is downing some pain pills when some guys from the team—Rick O'Shea, Starblind, and Izzy Avila—show up at his door.
  • They think he should convince Henry to sit out the next game.
  • He's mad that they came to this decision without him.
  • Rick tries to compromise, saying maybe Henry can play first base, just as long as he stops screwing up shortstop.
  • But Mike won't have it. He can't bring himself to sideline his friend.
