John H. Ritter, Baseball Novelist

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! The Desperado Gazette just arrived from Dillontown!

Welcome to the official website
of baseball novelist John H. Ritter—
a world of magical realism,
historical fiction, and storytelling
through the eyes of "The Old Perfessor."

Imagine what if...

The Desperado Who Stole Baseball What if legendary gunfighter Billy the Kid had been a baseball player instead?		The Boy Who Saved Baseball What if one day a boy discovers the secret of hitting a baseball—every time?		Under the Baseball Moon What if music could perfect a pitcher's timing? Or help a batter hit the perfect pitch?

	Choosing Up Sides What if a natural lefty was forced by religion to be right-handed? Where could he go to be himself?		Over the Wall What if an all-star shortstop's future depended upon building a Vietnam War Memorial— to the other side?
