I grew up listening by transistor radio to Bob Wolff broadcast the old Washington Senators baseball games. Always colorful, innovative and multi-faceted, he brings back to life countless memories of some of sports most glorious moments, as well as some humorous ones which never went reported. His book is a throwback to sports of a simpler and purer era, before the days of multi-million dollar contracts and superstar scandals. Those who remember that time will revel in the reminicences of the author's accounts, and those who weren't will learn of sports as they once were...and as they will never be again. Bob Wolff has been duly recognized as a member of Baseball's Hall of Fame, and his book is a record of his legacy to today's sports broadcaster and fan. For anyone who truly loves sports, we owe him a debt of gratitude.
