Once again, Frank Russo employs his unique style of writing to tell the story of many of baseball's luminaries. We all know Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle and Seaver, but what about Turkey Mike Donlin or Rabbit Maranville? Some may think outlining how various ballplayers passed from this world is morbid; however, I see Frank as honoring our National Pastime. In an era where baseball has become more about hard cold numbers, it's nice to see a book that focuses on what the game is really about: people and the stories behind the numbers on the back of the baseball card. This is a must-read for anyone who is a fan of the game.--Mike Silva, New York radio personality
