Hello. The story is probably "The Night Manny Mota Tied the Record" by W.P. Kinsella. On a web page called, "Guide to Baseball Fiction: W.P. Kinsella," the detail that you mention about the angel is described as follows: "An angel offers a fan the chance to exchange his life for the late Thurman Munson's." [description of "The Night Manny Mota Tied the Record" ] The web page is hosted by University of Texas - Arlington: http://www.uta.edu/english/tim/baseball/kinsella.html The story is included in an anthology called "The Thrill of the Grass," listed on Abebooks.com: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookDetails?bi=71704528 "The Thrill of the Grass" is available from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140073868/ search strategy: baseball, fiction, "night manny" I hope this helps. |
