Hundreds of souvenir hunters jam McCovey Cove in quest of a historic home run ball. Only this is many years from now, and the hitter is not , but the . Pat Burrell? We'll get to that in a moment.
Anyway, that's the scene in a new novel called "Meg: Primal Waters" (Forge Books) by , who, as you might guess, is an avid Phils fan. "I'm conceding Barry Bonds will break the record ('s alltime home run mark of 755)," Alten tells Open Season. How many will Bonds end up with? "I can only predict so much."
In the book, it's Burrell's turn to make history. And those hundreds of fans in the cove represent quite a spectacle. They also represent an exquisite buffet for a monster fish named Angel, a 75foot, 70,000pound Carcharodon Megalodon (Meg, for short) that just happens to be cruising in the bay.
This is Alten's third book in a series about a prehistoric cousin of the great white shark. Call it "Jaws" meets "Baseball Tonight." The title of the Burrell chapter should have been " It's What's for Dinner." At the risk of giving something away, one of the characters is a smarmy lawyer, and you know what happens to them in disaster books/movies. Right, let's see you habeas this corpus.
Now, if you follow baseball at all, you're probably wondering why the souvenir fleet would be lined up in the cove for a righthanded batter; Alten has him hitting, uh, monster shots to the opposite field. The bigger issue is how Burrell, who went to high school in San Jose at Bellarmine Prep, became such a feared slugger. Having hit his 16th homer of the season Thursday, the 27yearold Burrell has 119 in his career and would need to average 53 over the next 12 years to reach the Aaron/Bonds stratum. Sure, Philly's Citizens Bank Park is a bandbox, but this is ridiculous. And this is the postBALCO era.
On the phone, Alten reveals that,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]sac louis vuitton[/url], in the final chapter, Mel regurgitates the prized ball, which figures prominently in a court case. A court case involving a milestone home run ball? Sounds absurd, doesn't it?
