“Wilson gave the reader a real good look at the subject and while being a sad subject, turns it into an enjoyable experience for the reader. I would obviously recommend it to Reds fans, but all readers should check it out for the valuable history lesson contained within.”—Gregg’s Baseball Bookcase.
