Reviews
Dear Mr. Story,
Recently I purchased your book and just wanted to let you know that my
husband and I found it very educational and interesting! My son is in the process of reading it now. Due to the information that you provided in your book, my son is now working on his speed--among other skills. My son's favorite pastime is not reading, so for him to continue to stay interested in your book speaks volumes!
Sincerely, Vickie Franks
This is one of the most interesting and informative baseball books I have read.
