Baseball and the Baby Boomer: A History, Commentary, and Memoir
"Talmage Boston captures the heart and soul of the game that we, as baby-boomers, inherited." — John Grisham

1939: Baseball's Tipping Point
"Thought-provoking and entertaining, a rare mix. History should always be this good." — Dallas Morning News
"Some of my favorite things about baseball got started in 1939—Little League, the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and televised baseball games. Talmage brings these stories back to life." — Nolan Ryan, Hall of Fame pitcher
Baseball, in all its rich and glorious past, never had a year of greater significance. Baseball’s centennial year—1939—was the game’s tipping point when certain, seemingly unrelated, events acted to create the tipping point that drove the epidemic of change on multiple fronts—transforming the game.
