Bang the Drum Slowly - Questions

Well, according to Goodreads, I am the only one that has finished the book. Since tomorrow is the first, and I expect that we will be getting a new book to read, I figured I would post some questions and see what you all thought.

1. What was the role of baseball in this book?

2. What did you think of the style, having Wiggen narrate as the "Author", with his folksy tone?

3. What was the message? Have you seen this in other books?

4. What does Wiggen mean in the closing phrase: ""He was not a bad fellow. No worse than most and probably better than some and not a bad ball player neither when they give him a chance, when they laid off him long enough. From here on in I rag nobody."

5. Is there anything we can learn from Bruce and Henry?

Just pick a few questions to answer and I will answer some after you all have.
