From Tom Grimes's memoir, quoted here:
I began to consider the implications of having a book marketed as a baseball novel published by Disney. I imagined serious reviewers tossing it into a bin reserved for young adult novels, all of which ended with a World Series winning home run that completed the fairy tale season of a team of plucky underdogs.I'm happy to join in the chorus of righteous YA indignation: grr. Shame on you, Tom. They don't all end that way. On the other hand, I'm quite confident that reviewers really do have such bins.
