Thank you for this recommendation! The Kindle version is easily available on Amazon, and I’ve started reading it. I’m loving it so far - he actually played in the minors from 1959-61 but wrote the book in the early ‘70s. I’m looking up the teammates he writes about on Baseball Reference. His memory was pretty spot on.
