I have read the book four times, I will always consider it the best baseball book that I have ever read.
Loved it so much I have the LP, CDs and the video!
I have spoken with several SABR Deadball Era members that had the chance to visit with Mr. Ritter in his apartment before his passing. I was elated to know that they felt like he was one of the nicest people that they had ever met.
Each time they visted with him he would give them an autographed ball or photo from his visits with players from the book! That is about as close to three degrees of seperation that most of us will ever experience.
