Walker has hit a triple. His splendid work of social history is three fine books in one. It is a valuable contribution to the history of a great city and its region. It is an illuminating chapter in the annals of American business. And, of course, it is a loving and informed new chapter in the book of baseball history.' -George F. Will, columnist and TV commentator'Walker's life's work has been the study of America. In this book about his home town and his home team he has brought his career and his roots together, combining the skills of the historian, philosopher, reporter, and commentator with the touch of a poet.' -Bob Jones, veteran Cincinnati broadcaster
