"Some of the happiest days of my entire life were spent in the baseball Minor Leagues. I was young and living the baseball life for the first time. I was meeting a whole new set of people and visiting towns that I had only read about...Dave Hoekstra touchesall the bases in this major Minor League hit. He writes with eloquence and passion, not just about the stars (though there’s that too), but about the umpires, mascots, fans, groundskeepers, bus drivers, and just about everything that makes this heart beat. Hop on the team bus and enjoy this fun-filled ride around the Midwest League."
