I certainly will. I heard about the book on Gary Livicari’s baseball site, “Baseball History Comes Alive”. I have written essays on the site in the past.

I live in NH and am not too far from the stadium where the old Nashua Dodgers played. In 1946, while Jackie Robinson was assigned to Montreal by the Dodgers, Nashua had a Class B franchise where Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe were assigned as other Dodges affiliates were located in the South. The team was managed by Walter Alston and the GM was Buzzie Bavasi . Talk about a Dodger team with future HOF’ers and almost HOF’ers-all involved later in the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that bit of info. If I had all the time in the world, I'd follow the 1946 Nashua Dodgers day by day like I did the 1955 Dodgers last year. I just took a look in the archives for the Nashua Telegraph, and found a box score of a league championship game with Campy and Newk from 9/11/1946. Precious stuff! If you email me I can send it to you: Len@fermaninnovation.com

Congratulations Len.And what a nice gesture to have Ron present your book to the Hall Of Fame. Ron is the best baseball fan I know.

Thanks Jeff! And completely agree. I can't think of anyone who appreciates and loves the game of baseball more than Dr. Ron Elinoff.

I recently bought your book and have it in my reading list line-up. Hopefully, the HOF bookstore stocks it for the fans who make it to the Mecca of baseball. You should contact the HOF to see if you can get on their author series that they conduct both at the Hall and virtually on their Zoom links.
