Baseball's Natural is John Theodore's true account of the slick-fielding first baseman who played for the Cubs and the Phillies in the 1940s and became immortalized in baseball lore as the inspiration for Bernard Malamud's The Natural. Eddie Waitkus grew up in Boston and fought in the Pacific theater in World War II. Following the war, Waitkus became one of the most popular players of his era. In 1949, with his career on the rise, his life changed dramatically in a Chicago hotel when a nineteen-year-old shot him in the chest. Waitkus's dramatic recovery the next year inspired his teammates as the Phillies won the National League pennant. Although Waitkus survived the shooting, he could never outlive it.

Through interviews with Waitkus's family, fellow servicemen, former ballplayers, and childhood friends, and aided by fifteen photographs, Theodore chronicles Waitkus's remarkable comeback as well as the difficult years following his Major League career.

Actual glitter instead of highlighter
Color: Gold, Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a glow body oil that had actual pieces of glitter in it, instead of just a body highlighter (like many of the other market glow oils) and this is exactly what I was looking for. It smells delicious and is very moisturizing. It does feel like an oil, but it is lightweight. I have the sol de janiero glow oil and the main differences are the pieces of glitter vs the highlighting effect. Its not an over powering amount of glitter but just enough that if the light hits you, you can tell there is a shine

Glass bottle
Color: Gold, Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells nice, not the shimmer I was looking for. It wasn’t super glittery like another brand I had. Also it’s in a glass bottle. So I didn’t feel comfortable packing it on my trip.

Probably buy again
Color: Gold, Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It actually moisturizes pretty well, smells pretty amazing and its not greasy. but could make it easier to get the oil out.
