Jack Walker is most content outdoors, especially not far from the lush green fields of Seals Stadium and Fenway Park or his neighbors' perfectly manicured lawns. He finally gets his dream job, mowing the Molders' lawn, not long after a heart attack felled Mr. Molder in his living room. But the job ends abruptly when Jack learns that a fellow left-handed pitcher, a veteran major leaguer, had mowed off one of his toes. Jack's own baseball career ends unceremoniously. "Great job, Lefty," says his coach, after Jack's first outing of the season, which happens to be his team's final game. "I'll use you a lot more next season." Says Jack: "I'm a senior, Coach." "Well, you certainly pitched like one today." And then there were horses, schools and girls, including one whose father prowls around like a bear.
