About this title

Synopsis

Reviews

Only one out of every 14 minor leaguers ever makes it to baseball's big leagues. This addition to the Baseball Legends series credits as a consultant Earl Weaver, that winningest manager who never played in the majors. Chapters cover how the minors developed into farm teams, the revival of interest in the minors sparked by the baseball strike of 1981, and the poverty and sheer grind of the players' lives. The book is full of great photographs and reproductions of minor league memorabilia, quotes, famous moments, and boxes titled "Bet you didn't know . . ." It includes minor league records and a section on some folks, such as author Zane Grey, actor Kurt Russell, and governor Mario Cuomo, who played in the minors, and mentions the few women who played or umpired there.
