A book about the founding (revival?) of the Northern League in 1994. Inasmuchas the league itself was founded on the priciple of just having a good tme -- c.f. the Saints' motto "Fun Is Good" -- the book is also charmingly light-hearted. I enjoyed it, and plan to read-read it and my other books about the Northern League this summer. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Rebel Baseball is the story of the unforgettable first season of minor-league baseball's reinvigorated Northern League, which drew hundreds of thousands of fans out to six cities in the upper Midwest, becoming a success beyond anyone's expectations. Award-winning sportswriter Steve Perlstein spent the summer of 1993 with the league champions, the St. Paul Saints, whose cast of characters included player Leon "Bull" Durham; president and promoter-par-excellence Mike Veeck; co-owner Bill Murray; a Catholic nun who gave massages in the stands; and a clean (if slightly overweight) mascot pig named Saint. Perlstein's often hilarious account captures the antics, the energy, and the unique stories that made the Northern League's first year so special, and proves that baseball - the way it was meant to be - is alive and well in America's heartland."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
