    About this ebook

    Have you ever stopped to think how much “talk” occurs in our own little busy world every day of our lives?

    Do you realize how much talk is involved in our jobs in everyday business? How everything we do every day of our lives involves conversation and speech on many different topics?

    Our conversations in our household and community affairs, at our desk in the office, out in the factory or on the road, with our fellow workers, executives, vendors, customers, visitors, friends—all these involve thousands of words every day in our lives.

    Imagine what help it might be to your prospects of success if all your talk and conversation were consciously directed to specific objectives and goals of accomplishment. Think of the pleasant and desirable things that might happen if your talks, your conversations, your letters, your telephone messages, your public appearances all were consciously channeled along the road to success.

    This book has as its major purpose the directing of all these words into proper, efficient, and effective lines of communication.

    Harry Simmons

    Harry Simmons (September 29, 1907 - January 14, 1998) was a baseball executive, writer and historian. He was born in New York in 1907 and graduated from Morris High School in the Bronx. He then worked in several jobs whilst developing a deep interest in baseball history, rules, and statistics, and was the first writer to compile 19th Century National League won-lost records for pitchers. Simmons worked for the International League from 1945-1966, first in New York then in Montreal. He then worked in the Baseball Commissioner’s office until his retirement in 1982. He developed the playing schedules for the Majors and various minor leagues for over 20 years. Known as a historian and writer, he did much original research into 19th Century baseball. He developed and wrote the weekly feature titled “So You Think You Know Baseball,” which ran in the Saturday Evening Post from 1949-1961. His book of the same name was a bestseller. For many years he wrote the entry for baseball in the Encyclopædia Britannica. In 1951, Simmons testified as an expert witness to the Celler Committee hearings on the history of the reserve clause. At the 1979 baseball winter meeting in Toronto, he was honored as “King of Baseball”. In 1990, his contributions to the game were recognized when he received the SABR Salute. He was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 and elected to the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in Israel in 2007. He died in in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1998, aged 90.
