Shortened Seasons: The Untimely Deaths of Major League Baseball's Stars and Journeymen (2007)

This book recounts the stories of some of the baseball players who never made it back for the next 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.
