註釋

The year is 1918. An influenza epidemic imperils the world. A world war rages, igniting protests on the American homefront and threatening to end professional baseball. Labor unrest is everywhere. The Red Sox are struggling to reach the World Series. Will Beaman is asked to investigate the disappearance of a derelict who has been hanging around Fenway Park bragging about becoming rich on fixed games. Will's search for the missing man triggers threats on his life, plunks him into the midst of Boston's volatile gambling community, identifies a host of rough-and-tumble suspects, and draws him into relationships with not one, but two beautiful women. Foul Ball in Beantown is filled with historical characters, including the Red Sox and their rising star, Babe Ruth.
