Books: Al Simmons, Hack Wilson, Paul and Lloyd Waner

[Hack Wilson]

Fellow SOMers,
Please pardon my pesky self-promotion, but if you are interested in reading books on Al Simmons, Hack Wilson or Paul and Lloyd Waner -- all guys in ATG6 -- well, I've written a few. The Al Simmons one has just been released. Below are the links to more information about them. One reason I enjoyed writing about these vintage players was getting to know them through their Strat-O-Matic cards. I hope they, too, come alive for you, whether in these books or on the Strat field. Enjoy your summer! :D

Thanks for the info! I thoroughly enjoyed your work on Hack Wilson and have just ordered the Al Simmons book and look forward to enjoying it also.

I've read both the Wilson and Waner books, and enjoyed them both. I. too, am ordering Bucketfoot Al.

I read the Wilson book and am starting the Waner book. I will get a copy of the Simmons book.

I enjoyed the Wilson book very much!

Didn't know you were an author. Awesome. I haven't had as much time to keep up my reading on old-time baseball but I plan on renewing my interest.
One of the best books I read over and over was Glory of Their Times.
I think I will start with Hack. Thank you.
