It is a great story and extremely well written. I know the author. He told me the story wrote itself. But he did a great job on the book. It is one of my favorite Dead Ball era biographies.

Let me give two more that are great stories and extremely well written:

Tris Speaker:

Hal Chase:
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Prince-B...6549924&sr=1-2

I second the recommendation on the Chase book...really well done.
