About the Book
"This book brings to life one of baseball's greatest sluggers, Willie Stargell, first by examining the factors that shaped him as a man growing up in tumultuous racial times of the 1950s and '60s, then by recreating the major moments in his Hall of Fame baseball career, and finally by tracing his endeavors during the post-playing days"--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
This book brings to life one of baseball's greatest sluggers, Willie Stargell. It examines the factors that shaped him as a man growing up in the tumultuous racial times of the 1950s and '60s, and then recreates the major moments in his Hall of Fame baseball career. His various endeavors during the post-playing days are fully explored as well.
Interviews with more than 80 people--family members, childhood friends, teammates, opponents, front office workers and others--combined with dozens of newspaper and magazine articles shed light on the iconic patriarch of one of baseball's last great "families," the 1970s-era Pittsburgh Pirates.
Review Quotes
"Garland provides rich detail and weaves quotes from fellow players and opponents, baseball officials, friends, and family (including an ex-wife) with anecdotes, to create an in-depth profile of Stargell's life on the diamond...research is thorough and the book is well sourced"-Nine.
