Hi Rhett,

I recommend these two books to you:

http://www.amazon.com/Just-Big-Kid-T.../ref=pd_sim_b1

and

http://www.amazon.com/Chief-Benders-.../ref=pd_sim_b6

Both very strong books!

Cheers,
Blair

Chief Benders burden is amazing, I've read it twice and probably will again. The Moe Berg 'The catcher was a spy' was amazing. To think he just jumped in as a catcher and his first game doing so was against Ruth, Gehrig ect is mind blowing. It was also a very very depressing story when you read his life after WWII, he really became a lost vagabond living a charade with nothing but his name.
