You're gonna LOVE this book!! I thought Joe Naiman's long-awaited book on the history of baseball at Crawford High was going to be a lot of photographs and box scores, and I was looking forward to that. Turns out Joe included neither, and the book's better for it. He paints word pictures of every game and, better yet, gives fascinating background on the players -- what neighborhood they grew up in, what schools, they attended, even where some of them had their first after-school jobs.

The cost of this 285-page treasure is $19.95. We've tentatively planned to have Joe bring copies, if he has any left, to the March 1st Thursday function at the Amigo Spot. In the meantime call Joe at 619-390-2975 to get your copy.
