The Art of Fielding Chapter 44 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Henry calls his sister, Sophie, because "It comforted him to talk to Sophie" (44.8), even though this is the first time he's talked to her in about forty chapters.
  • She's coming to see his game tomorrow, with their parents.
  • Not only will Henry's family be there, but so will his baseball idol, Aparicio Rodriguez.
  • Sophie is excited for Henry to take her out after the game, as he promised he would (during one of those conversations we've never seen).
  • After hanging up the phone, Henry flips through Aparicio's book, The Art of Fielding, to get himself in the mindset for the game.
