Stolen Season: A Journey Through America and Baseball's Minor Leagues
by: David Lamb

Hardcover. NY, Random House, 1st, 1991, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, price-clipped dust jacket, 283 pages, b&w illustrations. An inside study of minor league baseball provides a portrait of the small cities and towns that house the teams and the colorful people--players, owners, coaches, and fans--who contribute to the baseball legend. The author decided to live out a fantasy by dumping his day job, outfitting a second hand pickup truck, camper and setting out on a great circle journey around backwaters of American baseball. Here he found that the hopes of prospects live on and that the game is self perpetuating. Fortunately for us, David Lamb is a first rate journalist whose sketches of the towns and teams are well written and detailed. Clean copy.
