      Poorly written with inconsistencies from page to page, paragraph to paragraph, and sometimes even from sentence to sentence. Was there an editor for this book? Covers the Giants of the 50’s and early 60’s, the era of Robustelli, Huff, Gifford, Conerly, Webster, Title and the Mara family. Could have been better if someone read it first before publishing it.
