Praise for this book
"Stirring and reflective.... A beautiful book that stands on its own in any league." --David E. Jones, Chicago Tribune
"Glorious nuggets are set amid the clear, warm narrative and hundreds of classic images.... Highest marks for browseability, but the true reward comes from the longer essays by folks still smitten by the game." --USA Today
