Well, Inside the Lines deems to clear it all up, virtue of Author Tom DeNigris personal journey through the world. Find out how this world all got started; who started it and where and how; who still stars in it; how our government and leagues fought against only to join it; how the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) opened the doors for all to enter in a very legal way.
