Produktbeschreibung

Lyman Bostock was a professional baseball player for the Minnesota Twins and the California Angels in the 1970s. Many believed he was good enough to win multiple batting titles, yet his murder meant it would never come to be. This book tells the story of Bostock's humble beginnings, his too-brief baseball career, and his tragic death.
