Been a while bumping this post, but maybe you want a Father's Day gift, who knows...

The first book covers the life of Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Dots Miller, who was a key member of the 1909 World Series champs, as the double play partner of Honus Wagner. John McGraw once called Miller the most valuable player in baseball. He also mentored teenage Rogers Hornsby with the St Louis Cardinals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV633PNT

The latest book is titled Unlucky 13: They Wore a Pirate Uniform. It tells the stories of 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but for one reason or another, they never got into a game. None of these 13 players show up in the team's all-time stats. Their unique stories range from a future Hall of Famer to a guy who never even played pro ball, plus everything in between, including a war hero who met a tragic ending. They are all covered with short stories of their time before/during/after the Pirates. The book is just $12.99. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY574YNS
