This memoir shares the unique coming of age story of a young college student, utterly devoid of confidence, until he is recruited as a semi-professional mascot for a junior hockey team. After a year on the ice, a new opportunity draws him into the world of Minor League Baseball. As the unexpectedly humorous, heartwarming, and (at times) hazardous experiences unfold, the young man finds himself sitting in the hospital with his future wife, weighing the risks of one more season against the potential of one day going pro.
WHAT THE FUZZ? is the most unexpected book I’ve read in a long, long time. Heartfelt and hilarious, this memoir charts the maturity of its author, from a bumbling kid utterly lacking in self-confidence, into an unexpected American blue-collar superhero. This book is chockful of magical moments, moments of levity, and moments of love, friendship, and decency. I read this memoir in a single-sitting and can’t wait for more of Ruefman’s quirky, kind-hearted writing. WHAT THE FUZZ? is a literary underdog that I’ll be rooting and cheering for long into the future. – NICKOLAS BUTLER, bestselling author of SHOTGUN LOVESONGS and GODSPEED
In What the Fuzz, Daniel Ruefman gives an uproarious glimpse behind the mask, with stories both hilarious and humbling. He shows us that oftentimes, the mascot is the hardest working person in the stadium. – JOE NIESE, author of HANDY ANDY: THE ANDY PAFKO STORY and BURLEIGH GRIMES: BASEBALL’S LAST LEGAL SPITBALLER
