    About this ebook

    William T. Spencer presents a collection of original poetry in a voice that is both timeless and nostalgic. Written originally as supplemental content to his upcoming novel, The Stan King Story, this collection of poems read as an homage to baseball, its legends, and the great cities that house some of its most beloved teams.

    The words within aren't just about a sport, but the love and life it breathes into all of those who enjoy America's favorite pastime.
