My
friend, Hugh Poland wrote a book that "blends
America's greatest pastime with America's greatest
strength-its spirituality. With grace and passion,
Hugh shines light on the real soul of baseball by
providing testimonies of its soldiers of the game.
Drawing upon stories from current and former players
and managers, including the famous and the unsung
heroes, the author shares life's important lessons."
"Steal Away features Scripture, and great quotes
from or stories about Don Zimmer, Orel Hershheiser,
Tommy Henrich, Billy Martin, Red Barber, Sal Bando,
the 1960 World Series Yankees, Joe DiMaggio, Roy
Campanella, Curt Flood, Sammy Sosa's corking
incident, John Smoltz, Roger "The Rocket" Clemens,
Jackie Robinson, David Clyde, John Boccabella,
Shirley Povich, the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates, Joe
Jackson and the Chicago "Black Sox," Buck O'Neill
and the Negro League, Mickey Owen's dropped ball in
the 1941 World Series, Mickey Mantle, the 2004
Boston Red Sox, and many, many others."
