The Art of Fielding Chapter 48 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Henry overthinks everything constantly and keeps screwing up, but lucky for Pella—and her non-existent wallet—he hasn't thrown a ball into the stands yet.
  • Then, Henry does something shocking: he catches the ball… and just stands there.
  • Then he hands Starblind, the pitcher, the ball and just walks off the field.
  • Everyone is stunned into silence—except Pella, who tells the guy, "You owe me a hundred bucks" (48.22).
