30 chapters of life and times in minor league baseball during the 1960's. Final chapter deals with the mysterious death of star player, Zelman Jack, in Guasave, Mexico in 1971 in winter ball. This is the first time a detailed account has ever been published. The author was his teammate.
Loving baseball usually means adopting its rhythms to your life . I become totally absorbed in the season while it’s drama plays out . As the summer turns to fall you are focused on pennant races but begin to feel the nagging thought that the season must be coming to an end . I have a hard and fast rule ; no baseball books from the last out of the World Series till pitchers and catchers report. I broke that rule to read Bush League Blues. I’m so glad I did.. such an intimate retelling of life in the bushes must of been hard to retell . Looking closely at an adventure to make it the Show probably wasn’t easy to tell. Mike Floyd does an exceptional job! I found that I got absorbed into his journey chapter by chapter, just as you get drawn into a great ball game. Each inning builds on its predecessor. The perfect book to start of process of getting ready for pitchers and catchers to report, Thanks Mike. Loved every page .
