Beskrivning

Shortened Seasons recounts the stories of some of the baseball players who never made it back for the next game, who died with the suddenness of a walk-off homerun. For them, there was no next year. From Hall of Fame caliber players such as Roberto Clemente, Thurman Munson, and Ed Delahanty to players who were still finding their niche in the game like Ken Hubbs, Lyman Bostoc, and Darryl Kile, this book explores the lives and deaths of ball players of all categories and abilities who were struck down at the height of their careers.

Recensioner i media

In Fran Zimniuch's book, Shortened Seasons, there is more than a measure of sweet sorrow. Sweet because the loss of someone you love offers the chance to tap into the deep feelings you had for them, feelings you may not have known were hidden in the folds of your heart and soul. His new book revives the imnages of baseball heroes who died too soon. I hope that for you, as for me, this book will not be a funeral, but a celebration of life."
