Hammerin' Hank, George Almighty and the Say Hey Kid

Interviews with players from that era, video, radio, books, magazine and newspaper articles, etc. The book's bibliography runs four pages in small print.

Excellent. Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to reading the book and your other work.

[TheDennislang]

Yes, you eloquenlty put us right there with Hank and his thoughts in the moment. A reconstruction of newspaper and other accounts of that evening?

[TheDennislang]

Wonderfully poignant excerpt, but assuming you're far too young to have been present in 1973 how were you able to construct the scene?

I turned nine the summer of '73. Baseball was magical to me back then, as it is for many boys between the time we learn to read a box score and discover girls. Researching this book gave me the thrill that comes in middle age when one connects with a youthful passion. I hope I've been able to pass that along to readers.
