Journeyman relief pitcher Jonathan “Ditch” Klein was all set to be a replacement player during the 1995 baseball strike...until the strike ended. Offered a contract in the minor leagues, on the same Upstate ballpark he once found success in high school, Ditch has one last chance to prove his worth. But to whom?
A manager with an axe to grind, a father second-guessing his pitching decisions, a local sportswriter hailing him as a hometown hero, a decade older than his teammates and trying to resurrect an injury-ridden career...Ditch thinks he may have a possible back-up plan become a sportswriter himself. The only question is whether he is a pitcher who aspires to be a writer, or the other way around...
Approaching TwiNight edition by M Thomas Apple Literature Fiction eBooks
Baseball fans will especially appreciate this gritty story of minor league pitcher Jonathan (Ditch) Klein, a complex soul who is long overdue for some good news. This is definitely not formula fiction, but an inside look behind the scenes of a team, and a glimpse into the mind of a man torn between his two talents … baseball and writing. I found myself drawn into the games with each play and turning pages to find out what would happen to Ditch. Well done!Product details

Approaching TwiNight edition by M Thomas Apple Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Approaching Twi-Night is a baseball book for a baseball man. As a former player and coach and I loved the back and forth banter between players throughout the story. The story follows Ditch. An old man, playing a young man's game in the minor leagues. He's not sure whether he's washed up and wants to become a reporter or a baseball lifer trying to make it back to the big leagues. It's a fun read for any baseball fan.
M. Thomas Apple’s novel “Approaching Twi-Night” is a wonderful read. The novel’s main character is Jonathan Klein, who after years of bouncing around from one minor league baseball team to another, finally ends up back in his home town, Gladden Fords, New York, where his baseball career started in high school. Now he is faced with being the old man pitcher on a young roster. He has a coach who doesn’t believe in him. In fact, sometimes Jonathan doesn’t believe in himself. He is also being touted by the local newspaper as a hometown hero, which causes some unwanted consequences in the locker room. And, finally, Jonathan has an itch --“His writing forearm itched...His body knew when it was time to write, even if his mind didn’t want to” -- and he is trying desperately to scratch it. If he can’t play the game anymore then perhaps he can write about it.
“Approaching Twi-Night” is, on its surface, about baseball and Apple certainly knows the game. He’s got the jargon right. He perfectly places you in the team bus, the locker room, the field of the old ballparks with their fading Marlboro Man signs and echoes of past glory. It’s like the film Bull Durham minus the sex and one-liners about Katherine the Great’s horse.
Apple has tremendous talent. At one point (I note it was early in the novel, Chapter 3, a scene where Jonathan returns to his parents house to find his mother cooking dinner and his father gardening in the small backyard) I had to flip the book to the front cover to check the name of the author. I was almost certain I was reading a Raymond Carver short story I had never read before. Apple (like Carver) is a writer of characters. He paints portraits with well chosen words. He understands his characters. Like many of the dirty realist writers of the 70s, Apple writes about small town life, the lower-middle class, the lost or conflicted, but in “Approaching Twi-Night’ there is always a glimmer of hope.
I highly recommend reading “Approaching Twi-Night” if you are a fan of baseball, but also if you are a fan of excellent writing. I once had a professor in college who said that novels are bit like swimming pools. Some novels swim in the shallow end plot-driven, fast-paced, everything gliding along the surface. This is where you play (think James Patterson or the majority of novels you find in the grocery store next to the periodicals). Other novels swim in the deep end. These novels require you to be a good reader (a good swimmer) and look for the symbols, the intent of the author. Diving in to explore the subtext and the theme. I like to swim in the deep end, and M. Thomas Apple’s “Approaching Twi-Night” is right at at home in the deep water.
I loved the character development this author uses. His description of upstate NY had me actually there! I know nothing of this level baseball and yet found the story intriguing!
A very good and fast paced read, on Class A Baseball, about the life, the traveling, the trials, the camaraderie, the pranks, the games of the players, and a pitcher who is a career minor leaguer that has been optioned to Gladden Fords, NY, his hometown. The book hits home the atmosphere of small town ball, the locals, and best of all, the sights, the sounds and smells of the ballparks.
This is a well written book but the plot is thin, and there isn't much to get excited about. It reads more like a memoir than a novel. It is strictly a baseball fan's book about a struggle to be a professional baseball player in the lower depths of the minor leagues. The problem is the subject has been done several times before, and it is a predictable story.
Baseball fans will especially appreciate this gritty story of minor league pitcher Jonathan (Ditch) Klein, a complex soul who is long overdue for some good news. This is definitely not formula fiction, but an inside look behind the scenes of a team, and a glimpse into the mind of a man torn between his two talents … baseball and writing. I found myself drawn into the games with each play and turning pages to find out what would happen to Ditch. Well done!
