I laughed, I cried- both tears of joy and sorrow, I got goosebumps, and found myself saying, so often, "I was at that game!" or "Wow. I forgot about that!" To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement. Anybody who loves the Cubs- or just loves baseball- needs to read this book! It brings back memories of my youth in the 60s, especially 1969, but carries you along the life and times of a truly remarkable human being. I'd always had respect for Randy Hundley, the catcher, #9, The Rebel...but now I have great respect for Randy Hundley the human being. Thank you for writing this book. There is so much I could add, having been a "card-carrying" member of the Chicago Cubs Left Field Bleacher Bum Club (yes, I was one of those invited by Phil Wrigley to go to Atlanta in August 1969- and of course, I went), but read the book...you won't be disappointed!!!

When you think of the thousands of players who have played in major league baseball, there is only one name- Randy Hundley- that stands out as the man who caught more games in a single season than any other catcher. He holds a singular place in MLB history and is truly an "Ironman" in every sense of the word.
