Washington, Pennsylvania - February 7, 2011 - Allen Schatz, Philadelphia native and current resident of western Pennsylvania, mixes a love of the game to spin a mystery-suspense yarn where revenge hides at the core. The book, titled GAME 7: DEAD BALL, targeting mystery fans and baseball fans alike, takes place before and during the 2008 World Series. The lead character, umpire Marshall Connors, believes a vacation cut short is a reasonable price to pay for the opportunity to work the games, but that price rapidly increases when he finds himself in the middle of something more intense than the games on the field.

Roger S. Williams, Managing Director at Publish or Perish Agency, Inc. and New England Publishing Associates, has described the book as "a mystery with baseball overtones; think Dick Francis meets America’s Pastime."

The book was released by Smashwords.com and is available as a multi-format eBook by clicking this link. The purchase price is $2.99 and readers may download the first 30% for free. There is also a limited-time coupon available for 25% off (code WJ47F).

On the base paths, Wilson is quick and can contribute with his feet.  Defensively, the Alabama native will likely play left or right field moving forward.  Possessing an ability t

Ryan Madson is acting questionable
