traveling with ghosts and other tales
Hometown heros and MLB Hall of Famers grace the pages of this retrospective on Ghost Player baseball. The Ghost Players team started as a lark that soon grew into something amazing that changed the lives of the players and the community they represented. They traveled the world and shared the magic of baseball with the Japanese people and US military personal and families in Asia, Europe and North America.
This image-rich coffee table book has a wonderful mixture of moments preserved for readers to enjoy. Roughly 200 pages of 4-color photos. The book holds stories, poems and images of the team told through the voices of players, family and fans. Most of the stories are those of the players but included are stories from fans from as far away as Alaska and Japan. Also included is a piece from Rob Edelman, author of Great Baseball Films and Baseball on the Web. Brian E. Frankish, Executive Producer of the Field of Dreams, has also promised a piece for the book.
We have created and will have the book printed and bound, all in Iowa. The compositor has been Shepherd Incorporated and they are in final negotiations with Iowa printers.
