Description
An honest, thorough look at a forgotten corner of New Mexico history. [Smith's] attention to detail and knack for finding quirky, untold stories will be engaging to baseball fans and history buffs alike. . . . Bush League Boys gives baseball in New Mexico a new voice in the sport's rich history.--New Mexico Magazine I've been a fan of Toby Smith's writing for a long time. Toby hasn't lost his zest for writing, nor the way he crafts his sentences. He's not 'Toby Smith, ' he's more like 'Word Smith.' Reading Toby's story of old-time baseball is delightful, and I found the book hard to put down, consuming it in a matter of hours.--Gary Herron, author of Duke City Diamonds: Baseball in Albuquerque Those expecting a solid, colorfully-written account of baseball in small-town America during the postwar years are in for a treat. Bush League Boys is a loving, well-crafted tribute to a forgotten time, a game, and its players.--Journal of Arizona History
