| Summary |
"Weatherby's Inning: A Story of College Life and Baseball" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jack Weatherby, a freshman at Erskine College, who grapples with feelings of isolation and the stigma of being labeled a coward after failing to rescue a drowning boy. With themes of friendship, personal growth, and the spirit of competition in college baseball, the book promises to explore the personal challenges that arise in the formative years of young adulthood. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jack Weatherby, who faces a tumultuous emotional environment at Erskine College following a traumatic incident at the river. Overwhelmed by loneliness and struggling with a sense of alienation from his peers, Jack's journey is marked by introspection and a desire for acceptance. After being publicly accused of cowardice when he hesitated to act during the emergency, he decides to persist and try out for the college baseball team, seeking redemption. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for Jack's evolving relationships and highlight the contrasting personalities he encounters, setting the stage for his quest to prove himself both on and off the field.
