Prayers and very best wishes to you and your wife. I would recommend "Ted Williams, an American Hero," by Leigh Montville. Just finished reading it for the second time since it came out in 2004 or so, and enjoyed it at least as much the second time.
"The Glory of Their Times" is also a very good one if by chance you haven't read it yet. May both of you always be blessed, Larry

I’m sitting in T.G. Hospital with my beautiful daughter facing the same fight for the second time. As for books my taste is a bit different but I highly recommend the following literary medicine as human, entertaining, and thought provoking. They were just the type of distraction I needed the first time my daughter stood up to cancer.

My goodness gentlemen, please take care Mac and Mike. My very best thoughts and prayers for your loved ones.
Sunday Afternoons at Garfield Park by Lyle Kenai Wilson is a great read. Respectfully, Ty Last edited by pariah1107; 06-26-2015 at 08:24 AM.

The Fireside Book of Baseball. It is like 5 or 6 volumes, so pick any volume and you will love it. This is about the 10th thread I have suggested this book and nobody seems to agree with me. Has anyone here ever read this book?
More importantly, I am praying for you and your wife.

So sorry to hear about your wife. I pray for a speedy recovery.
As for books, any of the Roger Angell anthologies are superb.
