I have to write about Big Klu today(his trade from the Pirates happened on this date) so I'm going to start my story by saying "According to baseball historian Kenny Cohen, Ted's five year stretch..." and then I'll end it with the quote at the end "You gotta give it up for the guns"

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
