Big Loosh

The Unruly Life of Umpire Ron Luciano

Beschreibung

Big Loosh is the biography of Ron Luciano, an outsized figure who was an MLB umpire in the 1970s, worked in broadcasting, published five books, and became a personality off the field—yet whose upbeat public face was at odds with his private struggle with depression.
