Description: Small octavo, 408 pages. Front hinge slightly loose. The great thing about this copy of the book is the lovely photograph of the Fort Worth Cats taped in at the back of the book. Dated August 11, 1950. The players are all listed by name, and the two batboys are there in the lineup. They all look like they must be young kids. Happy, healthy and fresh out of high school. A long time ago and a long time before the big stadiums we have now.
