Richard S. Braddock III, later to be known as Ricky, was marked for the legal profession before he was conceived in his mother's womb. His grandfather, Richard S. Braddock, was a war hero who began his career as a lawyer in Huntsville, Texas. Ricky's parents, Richard S. Braddock, Jr. and Elizabeth Braddock, both of whom were regarded by their clients and peers as exceptional lawyers and human beings, followed in his footsteps. The natural inclination was that their one and only son would continue their tradition. However, while he was a budding elementary school student, Ricky attended a baseball game at the Astrodome in Houston. There he was smitten by the baseball bug, and after that, the lives of the Braddock family were forever changed. It soon became evident to his parents that once Ricky made his mind about something it soon became his reality. Baseball became his life, and the pursuit of becoming a major league All-Star became his obsession. However, life has a way of throwing its own curveballs, as Ricky found out at a high point in his career when he ran into what seemed to be an insurmountable roadblock. Roadblocks is a modern day novel with an old-fashioned flair about a hometown boy that almost made it to the top of his game. Will he recover or become the quitter, he's been so readily labeled by the town folks after tragedy knocks him off of the pitcher's mound? The answers can only be found in the pages of this invigorating novel by Bob Malinak.
