Description:

A graphic look at the creation of a contemporary vintage base ball team – the Newtown Sandy Hooks, the first of its kind in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The development of the team, its players and how they learned to play this old-fangled game during the inaugural 2005 season are explained through a game-by-game breakdown and accompanying photographs. This book is the second in the ‘Diamonds in the Rough’ series of vintage base ball books by Ray Shaw, produced by Lulu. A perfect complement to the 2006 ‘Diamonds in the Rough’ calendar offered through Lulu! Over 100 original black & white and color photographs by Ray Shaw and Karen O'Maxfield plus graphics by Ray Shaw are included in this volume. Updated 1/21/06
