Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book recounts the stories of some of the baseball players who never made it back for the subsequent game, who died in the suddenness of a walk-off home run. From Hall of Fame caliber players such as Roberto Clemente and Thurman Munson to players who were still finding their niche in the game like Ken Hubbs and Darryl Kile, the lives and deaths of 50 players are explored in this moving tribute.

Rated by buyers -
An excellent book about a truly different subject - baseball players that died before their careers were over. Many of the players featured are strangers to us. But just as many are, or were, household names. This is not a book about death. It's a book about the lives of these baseball players who had a personal side which were learn about. I recommend it highly.
Rated by buyers -
While I greatly enjoyed "SHORTENED SEASONS", I read it at one sitting.
Though some of the players' ends (such as Munson, Clemente and Chapman etc.) have already been extensively reported on, I found the inclusion of those on the other side of the scale (such as the one-gamers) novel and
entertaining.
Other than realizing the picture on page # 152 of Elmer Gedeon had to be
that of Elmer's uncle, the banned-for-life, Joe Gedeon (in either 1913 or 1914, before Elmer was born) my only problem with the book was: I wish there were more of it.
