Pride of the Bimbos is a novel by John Sayles about a midget who is a traveling baseball player who dresses in drag and plays local teams. The baseball is always played without comedy and the traveling team (the Bimbos) almost always wins. As the book unfolds the reader learns about the midget named Pogo in flashbacks. At one time he was a gang leader and another he was a detective. The main current of the book seems to be unresolved and unresolvable conflicts. Throughout the book a man who is as tall as Pogo is short tries to find him to do him harm.
