“Surely (Joe Schuster’s novel) The Might-Have-Been is destined to join the ranks of transcendent baseball novels.”
–Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
“Far from being just about baseball, The Might-Have-Been is about the persistence of ambition and dreams in both sports and civilian life. This is a very telling novel about American pastimes and American identities, well worth reading.”
–Charles Baxter, author of The Feast of Love
