Send me a PM if you can't figure it out. Might be easier to email it? I could post it for you.

Thanks for the purchase! Hope you enjoy the rest of the book just as much. That was my passion project, so I spent a lot of time combing through papers looking for anything. The new book is a much easier read, all short stories, though some were due to the players being almost completely unknown...which is how they ended up in the book in the first place

Shameless bump on my birthday, in case anyone wants to get themselves a gift that also works as a gift for me

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

I haven't bumped this post in a while, but if you're planning on getting something during the last day of Amazon Prime Days, please consider adding one of these books to your order. The biography of Dots Miller or the story of 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but never got into a regular season game for the team. I know it centers around the Pirates, but the stories of how they got there and then didn't play work for any baseball story. You don't need to be a Pirates fan to enjoy it.
