I need to preface my review with two facts about myself… that made me want to read this book. First of all… I almost died during BRAIN-TUMOR-SURGERY fifteen years ago. I am a TOTALLY-BLESSED-GRATEFUL-BRAIN-TUMOR-SURVIVOR! Secondly… I played baseball my entire youth through young adulthood… and have remained a die-hard baseball fan my entire life. So when I heard about the storyline of this book... I was drawn to it. I have read literally hundreds upon hundreds of baseball books in my life… with many of them reviewed by me on Amazon. But that was not the driving force behind me buying this book. I obviously knew… and do know… what it feels like being the brain tumor patient facing the possibility of death… or in my mind… worse… the possibility of surviving and being a vegetable… but I wanted the chance to find out more about… how the people “around†the brain tumor patient/victim… reacted… and carried on around her. This was something when you’re the one being operated on and hopefully recovering… you can’t fully appreciate in detail… because you’re (if you’re blessed) too busy fighting to survive.A quick thumbnail sketch without a true spoiler… before I give my deeply seeded feelings after experiencing this story. The supposed protagonist is Rich Donnelly a big league baseball coach… who has four children… three boys… and one girl… my now “beloved†Amy. Amy died at nineteen-years-old from a brain tumor. The title… “The Chicken Runs at Midnight†was taken from a question Amy asked her Dad near the end of her ever-too-short-life… regarding his coaching style at third base. Anything on that particular item would be a spoiler… and you can learn more if you decide to read the book.Now… though the book is supposed to be Rich’s life story… I view the book as purely Amy’s wonderful short life… and as a byproduct you learn about her Father… who cheats on his wife and kids… who stops going to church… who starts drinking heavily… and try’s to put most of the blame for his deplorable loss of character and integrity on others. He blames Billy Martin… whom he terms as Mr. Chivas Regal… and other baseball men… for making him (in his mind) feel like he’ll lose his job in the big leagues if he doesn’t go out almost every night drinking and whoring around… despite the fact that he has a wife and four children at home. He blames subsequent managers on other teams for the same thing. He cheats with a girl sixteen years younger than him… and shacks up with her. And though Donnelly grew up very religious… he blames the baseball environment for making it too embarrassing… and possibly job threatening to be seen going to church.In addition the reader will learn in detail that Rich’s Father… abused him. NOT SEXUALLY… but mentally and physically. Rich carries over (as many do) some of these traits to his children. Poor Amy… the only girl in the family… so loves her Father… and only wants to please him… and he wouldn’t even let her participate in playing basketball with him and her brother in the driveway.Amy will steal your heart! What a beautiful gift G-d gave to mankind… though he took her too soon. She always wanted to be a teacher… and when she was a child she set up a classroom in their garage… and made her siblings and neighborhood kids attend class. She gave homework assignments… report cards… and sent notes home to students that needed to buckle up! One neighborhood mother complained her child brought home more disciplinary notes from Amy… than her child got from regular school. Her greatest joy for gifts on XMAS and birthdays… were things like blackboards and bulletin boards for her classroom in the garage.To further try to win favor with her Father… she started to play soccer on her own… and became one of the best in the area… she started to play basketball on her own and made the team… and then the tumor attacked. She loved baseball as a fan… and like the Father she was constantly trying to please… her favorite team was the Pittsburgh Pirates. When Donnelly became a coach for his childhood team… Amy and her brothers would spend some time each summer with their Dad (and later his new wife) and go to all the Pirate games. Amy being a girl… wasn’t allowed in the clubhouse so she stayed in the “green room†with the families… became a baby sitter for the players kids… and just like everywhere sweet… perky… tough… Amy went… she stole and owned everyone’s heart.There came a point after her Father destroyed the family with his wanton philandering… that Amy refused to talk to him. Eventually she slowly opened up to seeing him again… and would send him special little handwritten notes… which the author uses to great effect throughout the book.As Amy’s brain tumor spreads… and she continues fighting life’s toughest… unfair fight… her smiles get bigger… her heart gets sweeter… And I started to get sadder… and started to “miss†her. I found myself constantly going back to the pictures in the middle of the book… where you could see… sweet… effervescent… courageous… Amy… in every phase of her too short life.This book is truly Amy’s book… you don’t have to be a brain tumor survivor like me… to be touched deeply in your heart and soul… you’ll feel like you knew her… but just like everyone else… you’ll be sad you didn’t get to know her longer.G-d Bless you Amy!
I could not put this book down! I read it cover to cover over the holidays. The most inspiring, tragic yet touching, feel good book I've read since "The Pursuit of Happiness"! I'm a bit biased towards Rich Donnelly, having grown up in the early 90s in Pittsburgh. Being an avid baseball fan and him and Leyland's Pirates being the closest any Buccos fan was or will be to a World Series definitely brought back wonderful memories of my childhood watching those teams. Whilst those teams and the infamous "Sid Bream slide" are simply folklore now to my own son, reading what truly was going on behind the scenes with Rich's daughter makes those memories of my own all the more bittersweet. I literally got chills when I read the climax of the book in chapter 21...a book has never been able to do that for me! Truly remarkable story and definitely no coincidences in how all of this played out for the Donnelly family. OMG! I just realized, perhaps this was intentional by Rich or the author, Friend, but the book reaches its peak moment in chapter 21...Twenty-One...!!! That was the great Roberto Clemente's number! How appropriate that the most important, pivotal, touching, heartrending moment of this book occurs in the 21st chapter! Regardless if you are a Pirates fan or a baseball fan, this story will touch your soul and cast a new light on how you view the world... Nothing happens on accident... There is a purpose for everything! A great way and a great message to start the new year!!!
“The Chicken Runs at Midnight,†seems like an odd title until you read the story. Rich Donnelly takes you through his rough childhood to his career as a minor league player and manager. He also takes you through his major league career as a coach. They are all there: Ted Williams, Billy Martin, Bobby Valentine, Jim Leyland, Barry Bonds, Craig Counsell, Andy Van Slyke… An interesting story.
When our book club picked this book, at first I wasn't exactly thrilled. As a matter of fact, I wasn't sure I even wanted to read it! Of course I relented and read it. It was extremely good. I cried, I laughed, and I was amazed at the saying "- A Chicken Runs at Midnight!"
This book is so much more than just a baseball story. It's a story of the impact that a young girl had on so many people, especially her Dad. A great example of the influence that one person can have on so many people. C.R.A.M.
I heard about this story during a radio show and ordered the book shortly after. Reading this book made me feel as if I knew Rich Donnelly and his family and went through it all with them. Highly recommended
If this book doesn't inspire you to wanna make changes in your life, to give more of yourself, to love without condition...reread it, you missed the point
So many life lessons are taught through this story-how to live, die, how to treat people, love, laugh, cry, and so much more.
