Affecting the outcome



Author: Hart Seely

The author has practised Juju for a long time. In the kingdom of baseball he knows what works what doesnt. Voodoo out. Anything that works for three times In. He has a whole set of instructions with dos and donts. He beseeches the need for helping hands for the juju to work for sure. A Harry Potter world with its own lingo. But not a world that defies physics. Heisenberg's Uncertainity principle still holds. Thats the basis of observation influences.
If you are not mentioned in the book, you must not be a Yankee fan.
The author takes the whole Juju thing so seriously that he has explored the negative side of it too, for world peace and safety.
Yankiverse. The author relates Yankees and US performance. If they have been wronged, the nation goes down.
Yankee fan through and through, he sustains the book just on Yankity. The high and low of the fictive 'juju' element is maintained consistently in the book. It is easy to come up with an imaginary thing but selling it is what Seely is good at what with the math of guaranteed thirteen wins which is thirteen less losses. The pace of the book is quick. All the trades, its effects, wins.
