No baseball for a while!

A record-breaking weekend of rain in Tucson.

The 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers will be out of action for a few days.

dan price: Author of The Loner, The Dancer, Billy's Victory, The Legend of Bucket Smith and The Return of Johnny Dugan.The Dancer, is about a new stranger in town. It didn't take long for the townspeople of Forest Hills to recognize Johnny Fallon. A tragic accident in 1961 had torn his world apart. Fast forward to 1989, Fallon, now a middle-aged man, walks into The Tavern on the Hill...and the story begins.The Loner, my favorite fiction book, is about a retired TV sports anchorman. On his way to his hometown to attend the funeral of his ex-wife, Royce Reirdon reflects on his life, the mistakes he's made along the way and realizes he's led two lives -- one in front of a camera, the other off. Billy's Victory is a juvenile fiction novel about a relationship between an 11-year-old boy and his grandfather during the summer of 1962. The Legend of Bucket Smith is the story of an injured soldier who returns home from the Vietnam War and discovers a family secret, which changes his life forever. The Return of Johnny Dugan is a fiction book, a sequel to Billy's Victory about a town without baseball and about its residents who yearn for America's Favorite Pastime to return.
