I also recommend this book. Just got done reading it. I think if anything, after reading, you are reminded how ridiculous the odds are of making the major league.
I am in the middle of the new Tom Seaver Book that came out a few weeks ago. VERY good so far. A great reminder of how much "tougher" ball players were back then...and honestly, the game just seemed a lot better in the 60's and 70's
