Blockade Billy by Stephen King is a novel about a guy who comes up to be a fill-in catcher for a major league team. He loves to block home plate in close plays--hence, the name of the book. I enjoyed it. Good twist at the end, Stephen King style!

Blockade Billy by Stephen King is a book that I wish I hadn’t wasted my time reading. The only good thing was that it is short. It’s about a catcher who really isn’t who he said and who turned out to be a killer. When the crowd yelled “Kill the umpire,” Blockade Billy took it literally. I gave this a chance because I like baseball and that’s what it was about but no more Stephen King for me.
