Summary "Lefty Locke, Pitcher-Manager" by Burt L. Standish is a work of fiction set in the early 20th century. It revolves around the adventures and challenges of a talented pitcher, Lefty Locke, as he navigates the complexities of baseball management and personal loyalty. The story likely captures themes of ambition, loyalty, and the fierce competitive spirit that dominates the world of professional sports. The opening of the book introduces Lefty Locke, a star pitcher for the Blue Stockings, as he engages in a conversation with Bailey Weegman, who has brought an unexpected offer regarding management decisions for the team. Weegman reveals that the current manager, Jack Kennedy, may be replaced and that he wishes to sign Locke as a playing manager. Lefty is initially incredulous about the situation and expresses his loyalty towards Kennedy, pushing back against Weegman’s manipulative tactics. This opening sets up a tension-filled narrative, hinting at bigger conflicts ahead involving team loyalty, personal integrity, and the cutthroat world of baseball.
