Readers' Comments
"Like its title, this is a
glorious book, a trip through the lesser known by-ways of our best game, a
bittersweet collection of stories of those who made it - briefly - to the
top."
- Ken Burns,
producer of The Civil War, Baseball, The Shakers, and other PBS documentaries.
"Rich Letarte wins Author Rookie of
the Year Award with That One Glorious Season."
- Dan
Shaughnessy, sports columnist for the Boston Globe and author of The
Curse of the Bambino and five other books.
"... A must-read for those enamored
with our national pastime. Rich Letarte draws a warm and vivid
picture of the time when baseball ruled the sporting world. This
fond remembrance entertains and informs with magic observations and fascinating
tales."
- John W. Gearan, longtime columnist for the Worcester (MA)
Telegram and Gazette.
"Wow! Suddenly, I'm ten
years old again. A well-researched, wonderfully-written, treasure
trove of baseball heroes of the nineteen-fifties and early sixties, highlighting
their miracle performances. The book was fun and enthralling, the
pages kept turning and turning. I truly enjoyed That One Glorious
Season."
- Calvin S. Fisk, standout athlete at the University of
New Hampshire in baseball and soccer and a member of its athletic Hall of
Fame. Older brother of Carlton Fisk, who was inducted into baseball's
