Summer Of '68: The Season That Changed Baseball--And America--Forever - Plot & Excerpts
It is quite another to turn it into a book. For that to happen, you need a lot of people in your corner.Jonathan Crowe, my editor at Da Capo, heard me out from the beginning and offered guidance and enthusiasm throughout this project. He’s a delight to work with.Special thanks to Chris Park, my agent, and the folks at Foundry Media. Chris was with me every step of the way and she always has my back.Kärstin Painter and Anais Scott at Perseus Books helped in the final stages, making sure that Summer of ’68 became a reality, while Lissa Warren championed it in the marketplace.When I’m working on a new book, I become a big believer in omens—constantly keeping an eye out for signs that this will really play out. On an early trip to Detroit, my good friend Tom Stanton took me on a tour of the Motor City and I saw that it was true: that sports, politics, race, culture, and music can connect in ways that we seldom acknowledge.Months and months later, with deadlines fast approaching, I took a trip to Memphis at the urging of a new friend, David Waters.
