Heat by Mike Lupica- Setting

The setting was in the poor parts of the Bronx, specifically 825 Gerard street. It was in the Spring because I know that in the summer is when the Little League World Series was so they had to win their division to make it there, to Williamsport, PA. I would love to be in this setting because it seemed somewhat peaceful and he lived right by the stadium and the field where the Clippers played all their games. If it was set in a different time or place then Michael would possibly like a different team or they might not have been an "El Grande" yet; maybe it would have been as early as Babe Ruth or another great. "It's (Yankee Stadium) so... big" (218).
