5.0 out of 5 stars Baseball's Forgotten Heroes is terrific!, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baseball's Forgotten Heroes (Paperback)

This book has enough facts and statistics to satisfy the most hard-core baseball fan, and enough charm and heart to interest anyone else. These stories -- many presented as first-person accounts -- are captivating glimpses into baseball, history, and the personalities of some real characters. It is clear that Mr. Salin has a true love of baseball, and a true respect for his subjects. Baseball's Forgotten Heroes is a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" for everyone; a "must have" for enthusiasts!, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baseball's Forgotten Heroes (Paperback)

Tony Salin's collection of stories in "Baseball's Forgotten Heroes" is a reminder that baseball's charm is created by more than the superstars that the media cling to when trying to get the average fan's attention. As much as I enjoy reading about Williams or DiMaggio, Baseball's Forgotten Heroes is a fresh approach that I hope will set a standard for future volumes. Throughout history, baseball has presented many men with fascinating stories that have been otherwise overlooked. Fortunately, there is at least one author with the desire and perseverance to publish some of these unsung-heroes' stories. The style of this book would appeal to anyone regardless of his or her degree of passion for baseball or knowledge of the sport, but it is a "must-have" for any baseball enthusiast's library. I hope Salin is able to produce many sequels to this wonderful model of baseball literature. HOF!

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baseball's Forgotten Heroes (Paperback)

Tony Salin has compiled a compelling group of former ballplayers, from forgotten major leaguers to globetrotting minor leaguers. Mr. Salin gives each player his own chapter and each chapter has its own style to match something of the character of its subject. The book has the feeling of looking at a box of old photographs; it jogs the memory of precious moments forgotten. I highly recommend this book.
