Book Synopsis
Step back in time to the summer of 1940, when professional baseball in Fayetteville, Arkansas met its untimely demise, leaving a void that has never been filled in the decades since. In this enchanting tapestry of history, the remarkable story of a nearly forgotten Class-D minor league unfolds before your eyes-an organization that holds the title of the "smallest league that ever functioned in organized baseball." With every turn of the page, a bittersweet nostalgia permeates the air, drawing you into the world of the Arkansas-Missouri League and the faded glory of the Fayetteville Angels. The raucous symphony of wood meeting horsehide, the exhilaration of triumphant cheers, and the heartwrenching cries of defeat. Each of these once vibrant sounds now exist as mere whispers, floating in the ethereal realm of forgotten history. Angels in the Ozarks brings a bygone era back to life, where dreams soared and the spirit of baseball thrived, forever leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who still remember.
