Frank WakefieldThe Celebrant. It is a book by Eric Rolfe Greenberg. It is fiction, about a fellow who really loved baseball, and developed a fascination with Christy Mathewson. If you care anything at all to who some of the guys are in T205 and T206, or E90s, and the like (whether they've been soaked or not, slabbed or not), then you really need to read The Celebrant. It takes you back in time, puts you in the grandstand watching McGraw's Giants and the college boy from Bucknell.
I was given a cd set, Play Ball! "A Tribute to Our National Pastime" yesterday, by a co-worker. A portion of it has Greenberg reading an excerpt. I encourage you guys to find a copy of the book and read it.
