Clark, having called well over 3,000 MLB games, offers a perspective that is engaging as well as steeped in personal experience. It will be of interest to any baseball fan. --Brian Renvall, Library Journal --Brian Renvall Library Journal (02/19/2014)


Al Clark never threw me out of a game, but Billy Martin wasn't so fortunate. I not only witnessed his confrontations with Al but enjoyed remembering them in this book. -Ron Blomberg, first designated hitter -- Ron Blomberg Some of the nicest conversations I've had in forty-two years of baseball have been with umpires.

Enjoy some great baseball stories from a man who once had a front-row seat in our great game. -Chris Wheeler, Phillies broadcaster -- Chris Wheeler Clark, having called well over 3,000 MLB games, offers a perspective that is engaging as well as steeped in personal experience.
