Henry is the narrator of the story, and he claims to be the author as well, although he is actually a fictional character. Because Henry has written a successful book, "The Southpaw", about his experiences in baseball, the other players call him "Author". Henry loves a good joke and he has an unusual sense of humor, so that he thinks that things are funny that no one else is laughing about. Henry has a habit of keeping a straight face while he is cracking up inside about some joke he has made to himself. Henry loves teasing people and giving them a hard time, but when he learns that Bruce is sick, Henry does not take as much pleasure in teasing people.
