Full Description
The "father of Independent Baseball," Miles Wolff recounts his 50-year career in the game and how his experiences lead to the founding of the modern independent game, with some opposition from the existing major and minor leagues. Along the way, he describes how the movie Bull Durham came to be made and covers the history of minor league ball's growth from mom-and-pop operations to major business endeavors.
