Thank You, Hank - that was very enjoyable.

It was cool to hear two players mentioned that have connections local to me:


Cliff Blankenship, the injured catcher send to sign Milan and ultimately got Walter too, was the first Major Leaguer born here in Columbus.

Hank Gowdy, who famously stepped on his mask, has a ball-field on Fort Benning named after him.




Though I read your wonderful book cover-to-cover, I'm sure I'll read it again someday and enjoy it againn.

Here's what I call my 'Double-Walter' which Leon used to own:
