Synopsis

"Life is More Than 9 Innings" is a unique collection of stories covering a lifetime of memories by former Red Sox pitcher Frank Sullivan. His 10-year Major League career is the source of a fascinating insider's look at the sport and some of the legendary players of the '50s and '60s. As the title implies, however, there are many more stories to be told including his early years growing up in California, Army service during the Korean War, and forty-three years of life in Hawaii on the island of Kauai. Put together in a very readable short story format, each account stands on its own as a captivating tale told by a master storyteller. Along with its wonderful collection of photographs, the book is a storehouse of memories to be savored and enjoyed by sports fans and casual readers alike.
