“This book is dedicated to the ballplayers of the mid-twentieth century who were the heroes of so many youngsters who grew up during that time. They were an eclectic, colorful group who, in their own way, encouraged many of us to strive to achieve our goals, whatever they were. Thank you.”

“Wow! Suddenly, I’m ten years old again. A well-researched, wonderfully-written, treasure trove of baseball heroes of the 1950s and early ’60s, highlighting their miracle performances. The book was fun and enthralling; the pages kept turning and turning. I truly enjoyed That One Glorious Season.”
