The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument.

One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys - best friends - are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio.
