Small Town Baseball Big League Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615654751)

From the early 1900's, town team baseball in eastern Iowa has been a fixture in the area, often referred to as "The Hotbed of Baseball". Following World War II, the Dubuqueland area fielded semi-pro teams in most small rural towns. It was especially popular from the late 40's through 70's and 80's, as measured by fan interest. Although the number of fans attending games has declined since that time, many towns continue to field teams performing at highly competitive levels. It is that tradition which is captured in an entertaining style, emphasizing memories and stories of individuals who viewed the simplicity and innocence of the game as a way of life.
