The Boys of Summer is a wonderful book, read it many years ago when I was in college. The song's not too shabby either (Don Henley reference).
It was a real shame the way Pete Rose lied to him in the biography that Kahn wrote. Pete could have used that book to come clean and ask for forgiveness at the doorstep of MLB. Instead, he kept up his lies.
Roger, thank you for documenting and telling us the stories of this great game. We are forever indebted. May you rest in peace.
