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

Postby Hack Wilson » Fri Aug 19, 2011 8:46 am

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

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.
