Dixie Walker's story is an important one, and his daughter Susan and her mother, Estelle, come across as very interesting and likable people. I believe that what makes Dixie Walker an important topic is that after failing to replace Babe Ruth and becoming eclipsed by Joe DiMaggio, he became a respected veteran player. In his career as a coach, Dixie Walker was a highly lauded batting instructor, praised by both black and white hitters.' - Lee Lowenfish, author of Branch Rickey: Baseball's Ferocious Gentleman
