"His passion for the game is unparalleled! It's a love story worth reading!" -Steve Wright, author of Aggressively Human, entrepreneur, NFL veteran with the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts, and Los Angeles Raiders "This book gives you the other angle of pro sports, the side of the officials who work their way up to the bigs to be loved or hated." -John Ziemann, Band President Baltimore Colts' Marching Band/Baltimore's Marching Ravens Think you know football? Not until you ride along with "Sweet Lou" Hammond as he pursues his dream of officiating in the National Football League-a dream he discovers comes at a steep price. More than a sports journal, Lou's story is a hilarious and heroic journey from the hardscrabble lot at Baltimore's Radecke Park to the manicured lawn at M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. His whistle-stops to success include every level of the game from sandlot to professional. Go behind the scenes and learn about the third team that plays every down. See the game between the white lines and from the press box. Meet the players, owners, and fans who created today's football juggernaut. As "Sweet Lou" says: "It's the best seat in the house, but you have to stand."
