What’s Rob Reading?

Grinders: Baseball's Intrepid Infantry, by Mike Capps and Chuck HartensteinGrinders: Baseball’s Intrepid Infantry
By Mike Capps and Chuck Hartenstein

“Decades ago, Mike Capps sat next to his grandfather in the rickety, mosquito-infested Burnett Field, built in 1910 across the Trinity River from the twinkling lights of the concrete and steel towers of downtown Dallas. His grandfather pointed to the scoresheet where he’d checked the names of six or seven players. “They aren’t stars, but they are the engine that drives baseball’s bus.” That kind yet emphatic, grandfatherly declaration buried itself in Capps’ psyche for decades. Sixty years later, the small but hugely important snippet still ignites memories of his grandfather’s passion love for the game of baseball. That exchange formed the foundation for Grinders.”
