I received this book for my 73rd birthday from my son .He had it autographed at a book signing in Pittsburgh. I have been a Pirates fan all my life and so is my son, who lives in Upper St Clair. I live in Lancaster County, Pa. I read the book on vacation at the beach. I couldn't put it down as it was so interesting and so very honest and true to life. I especially loved the chapter on Roberto Clemente, my all time favorite Pirate! Thanks to Steve Blass for such a great Pirate Book. Keep broadcasting Steve, you do a wonderful job.
