Produktbeschreibung

"The Redheaded Outfield" is a short story written by Zane Grey, first published in 1915. Unlike many of Grey's other works, which are set in the American West and revolve around themes of frontier life and cowboy culture, "The Redheaded Outfield" is a baseball story set in the world of sports. The story follows the exploits of the Redheads, a minor league baseball team from Newark, New Jersey. The team is known for its talented outfielders, particularly the fiery-tempered redhead, Joe, who becomes the star player of the team. However, despite their individual talents, the Redheads struggle as a team and face numerous setbacks on the field. As the story unfolds, the Redheads must learn to work together and overcome their differences in order to achieve success on the baseball diamond. Through hard work, determination, and a newfound sense of camaraderie, the team begins to turn their season around and emerge as contenders in the league. "The Redheaded Outfield" is a departure from Grey's typical Western fare, but it still captures the spirit of adventure and competition that defines much of his work. The story highlights Grey's ability to create compelling characters and narratives, even outside of the Western genre, and remains a beloved classic among fans of sports fiction.
