A White Sox Life: From Hoosier Farm Boy to 42 Years in Major League Baseball (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539041108)

This is the story of a farm boy whose reality exceeded his wildest dreams. Glen Rosenbaum grew up on an Indiana farm on a dirt road in the 1950s. After graduating high school, he expected to be a farmer or a factory worker. While pitching a Sunday beer league baseball game at age 18, the umpire asked if he could call a friend to watch Glen play. The friend scouted for the Chicago White Sox and that conversation led to a 42 year career in Major League Baseball.
A White Sox Life explores Glen's journey from playing catch in the barnyard, learning to throw a curve ball, his first try-out at Comiskey Park, his hiatus from baseball, and the amazing people he worked with over the years. This is the story of Glen Rosenbaum's remarkable baseball life.
