Reviews
" Bush League, Big City is a compelling and important read. Examining the contraction and betrayals that beset the venerable New York-Penn League, Michael Sokolow follows the money from small-town Oneonta, New York, to the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn. Based on extensive research, Bush League, Big City melds observant analysis with masterful storytelling. As Sokolow broaches, the shortsighted greed of Major League Baseball may well come back to haunt the game and its moguls." -- William Simons, Professor Emeritus, History Department, SUNY Oneonta and editor, The Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture
