Hi there – If you are interested, we’d like to send you a copy of our new book: TED SULLIVAN: BARNACLE OF BASEBALL. Irish-born Sullivan cut a colorful and controversial swath through the Texas League – even claimed to be the Father of the Texas League. Book is set to be released next month on McFarland press/publishers.
