Default THE GRAND MINOR LEAGUE (Pacific Coast League/PCL) BRAND NEW CONDITION 328 page book

~ New, Never-Used 328 page book each large page nearly 8-1/2" by 11" ~


The GRAND MINOR LEAGUE ~ An Oral History of the Old Pacific Coast League

Well-illustrated softcover book authored by longtime PCL follower & collector DICK DOBBINS


"Baseball historian Dick Dobbins wrote extensively about professional baseball in the San Francisco Area and in West Coast cities that have had Pacific Coast League teams. His first book, Nuggets on the Diamond, is a formal history of professional baseball in the Bay Area. The Grand Minor League, an orgal history of the old Pacific Coast League is his second book, completed just before his death in January, 1999". [from the book back cover fold-in]

If you like reading about and thumbing through pages of old Pacific Coast League ballplayers, ballyards and associated people and things, you will not want to miss this great book. Although I met the late Dick Dobbins only a couple of times, I knew him as a kind, helpful and knowledgable historian and collector. In The Grand Minor League Dobbins shares his invaluable insights of the PCL. You or a baseball fan in your family will not want to pass up this jewel.

As the front cover fold-in says "...Taking a cue from baseball historian Lawrence Ritter, author Dick Dobbins decided to revive some of that PCL magic by letting its former players recount the excitement, struggles, atmosphere, energy and comic moments of Coast League baseball. The Grand Minor League is Dobbins' collection of comments, anecdotes and wisdom from the men who were there. There is indeed magic in these voices - the calculating pitcher, the frustrated batter, the besieged ump, the delighted fan - as they describe the PCL's marvelous brand of baseball."

Though published 16 years ago, through a strategic purchase (thank you, Mark Macrae!), you can have one - or more - of these softcover books as fresh as the day they came off the press - and for less than half the original ($27.95) cover price! And shipping for additional copies beyond the first is just a dollar.

Condition: Brand new - taken directly from a full case


PRICE: $13.00 postpaid via media mail
Check or money order: Steve Mitchell, P.O. Box 6022, Edmonds, WA 98026 or Paypal: slm98@comcast.net
