Summary | "The High School Pitcher; or Dick & Co. on the Gridley Diamond" by H. Irving Hancock is a work of juvenile fiction likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Dick Prescott and his group of friends as they navigate life in high school, facing challenges both in academics and athletics, particularly as they prepare for the upcoming baseball season against a backdrop of comedic pranks and rivalries. The opening of the book introduces the new principal, Mr. Cantwell, who is met with resistance from the students, particularly Dick and his friends, referred to as "Dick & Co." It quickly becomes evident that the new principal is unpopular and that a prank involving pennies is being concocted to poke fun at him. As Dick and his friends brainstorm how to execute their scheme, the narrative establishes the dynamics within their social group, their aspirations in sports, and hints at underlying conflicts with rivals like Fred Ripley, setting the tone for a story filled with humor, friendship, and competition.
