Freshly Remember'D

An oldtime baseball star & a teacher/sociologist meet in a local barber shop. Two days later a chance encounter in their favorite restaurant leads to a nine-year conversation & to this joint project. It's a fresh look at the life & career of Wally Berger, one of the greatest outfielders of the Depression Decade (1930-1940). His experiences & observations are the essence of this book - along with a wide variety of original sources. Wally is articulate, graphic, frank & objective. He provides new insight into the events & personalities of the baseball world in which he was both participant & observer (1920-1940). In the Appendix his documentation of his annual bargaining with management is unique in baseball history. A special bonus for the reader is the art of Jack McClain. It is illuminating, subtle & evocative. Also Frank Merriwell & Horatio Alger, Jr. meet in FRESHLY REMEMBERED. To order: Write Schneider/McGuirk Press, P.O. Box 1404, Redondo Beach, CA 90278.
