 | Sleeper Cars and Flannel Uniforms: A Lifetime of Memories from Striking Out the Babe to Teeing It Up With the President |
 | "If you love baseball stories....." | 2007-06-01 |
Ive read many a baseball themed book and this is one of the better ones! Elden Auker, a pitcher with the Tigers/Red Sox/and Browns circa 1935-42 shares his memories of baseball back in the old days before the days of high salaries and player agents. The book is full of interesting short stories about players and other people that Mr. Auker knew during the course of his life (he died last August at the age of 96).
Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys reading about old time baseball.

After reading through this book I was left somewhat disapointed. What is covered in the book is well written, but the publication date was nearly 20 yrs ago, and the book needs updating. More actual pictures of masonry heaters and less old pictures would be helpful. One is better off visiting the masonry heater association
http://www.mha-net.org/ to look at their collection of titles.
