Good Read
I enjoyed the stories in the book as I was playing HS ball in the late 50s and remember most of the players. The book seemed to hop back & forth between decades so much it was distracting. And the author needed a better editor to correct English errors and a few historical facts (e.g. the United / TWA crash was over Arizona not New York).
