<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Rescued in 2010 from the small creek that runs next to Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, New York, a simple baseball turned into an epic quest that spanned the United States and beyond. For eight years, "The Hall Ball" went on a journey to have its picture taken with every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, both living and deceased. The goal? To enshrine the first crowd-sourced artifact ever donated to the Hall. Part travelogue, part baseball history, part photo journal, this book tells the full story for the first time. The narratives that accompany the ball's odyssey are as funny and moving as any in the history of the game."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Rescued in 2010 from the small creek that runs next to Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, New York, a simple baseball launched an epic quest that spanned the United States and beyond.
