Description
Set in the small towns, ball fields, barns, and bedrooms of Alberta, Canada, and populated by some of the quirkiest and rowdiest folks in fiction, Box Socials paints a brilliantly comic, full-color portrait of North American life in the 1940s. Here’s the story of how “Truckbox” Al McClintock, a small-town greaser whose claim to fame was hitting a baseball clean across the Pembina River, almost got a tryout with the St. Louis Cardinals but ended up batting against Bob Feller of Cleveland Indian fame in Renfrew Park, Edmonton, Alberta.
