Kevin -- I just read your excellent book, well done! Hopefully you'll get the mssg I sent through the Holt publicity dept. Here's part of it. You capture the zeitgeist very well. I love telling people how going to games at Wrigley during the '70s felt like a blue collar experience. When I saw your wife's name at the end of the acknowledgements, I did a double-take. She grew up a block away from me! ?

Mr. Cook; Just finished 10 Innings - Awesome job! One point - you indicated that Phils Manager Danny Ozark was awarded "five Bronze Stars" which is incorrect. He was awarded the Bronze Star with V Device which indicates valor in combat rather than "meritorious service." I'm a combat vet and I'm certain that Mr. Ozark would not want to be credited with five awards such as this. Can you clarify? Respectfully, JK

Kevin Cook Jay, thank you for writing, and thanks for the correction about Danny Ozark's service. I'll double-check that and can fix it in future editions. Best,…moreJay, thank you for writing, and thanks for the correction about Danny Ozark's service. I'll double-check that and can fix it in future editions. Best, Kevin(less)

Quotes by Kevin Cook (?)

“When the former Negro Leagues star Buck O’Neil, now serving as a Cubs scout, said, “Mr. Holland, we’d have a better ball club if we played the blacks,” Holland didn’t disagree. But the fans were already accusing him of making the Cubs look like a Negro League team, he said. So Holland traded Jenkins to the Texas Rangers. A year later, Jenkins led the American League with 25 victories. He would win 110 more on his way to the Hall of Fame.”
― Kevin Cook, Ten Innings at Wrigley: The Wildest Ballgame Ever, with Baseball on the Brink

“When the elders expressed doubts about following a preacher who might lace a sermon with “shitfuck” and “cuntpiss,” he insisted his medical condition had no bearing on his right of succession, which came directly from God.”
― Kevin Cook, Waco Rising: David Koresh, the FBI, and the Birth of America's Modern Militias

“Cubs leadoff man Ivan DeJesus had a slashy swing and a fan club that called itself Jews for DeJesus.”
