Alan Mindell's first novel "The Closer" follows knuckleballer Terry Lander's rebound

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. - June 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Sunbury Press has released author Alan Mindell's novel "The Closer: A Baseball Love Story."

About the Book:
R. A. Dickey was the first knuckleball pitcher to ever win a coveted Cy Young Award--despite spending most of his career in the minor leagues.  Terry Landers, also a knuckleballer, is Dickey`s fictional counterpart in The Closer.  The main difference, aside from winning the Cy Young, is that at age thirty-three, Terry has never played in the majors.  Once he finally gets his chance, what follows is the heartwarming story of his impact both on the pitching mound and with a family in distress.
