A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball...Whatever happened to Calico Joe? It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz. In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever... In John Grisham's new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it's what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.

Great product that seems to last a good long time
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This has a subtly pleasant smell. I like it. I like the consistency too. I will order again. It's soft on my skin and super easy to use. I like the bottle size. It's not too big and it's not too small.

Smells Amazing, Premium Price
Scent: Sea Salt, Size: 11.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great body wash overall. It smells really good clean, fresh, and not overpowering. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey compared to other options, but the quality and scent definitely make it worth considering.

One of the best bodywashes I've ever tried!
Scent: Sea Salt, Size: 11.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Huron Body Wash is one of the best I've ever used. Great scents, and leaves your skin smelling and feeling great. The deodorant is a really great compliment to the body wash. Feel good all day!

Still Searching for the Right Scent
Scent: Sandalwood + Amber, Size: 30.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells great and lathers well, but it’s super hard to get any volume out of the bottle, and the scent really isn’t that strong or distinctive. I don’t think I’ll buy this again and will keep looking. I’ve tried Salt & Stone Body Wash with Antioxidants for Deep Moisture and ORIBE Cote d'Azur Replenishing Body Wash as well; they’re good, but they don’t offer any noticeable scent once you’re out of the shower. I have a very sensitive nose, so I know it’s not just me.
