Marvelously researched, sparklingly written. A riveting read that belongs with the best of baseball biographies.--Mark Tomasik, RetroSimba.com Sometimes the best and most intriguing stories are those of what might have been. This is one such story.--Bob Costas, Broadcaster, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, 2018 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award As a lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the team's storied history. I was wrong. In his exhaustively researched book, Danny Spewak digs deep on Charlie Peete, a pioneering player who helped pave the way for a host of Cardinals legends. This is a valuable contribution to baseball history, one that details the number of lives that Peete managed to touch despite his own being cut tragically short.--Luke Epplin, author of Our Team
