Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crowley Millers were the talk of minor league baseball in the 1950s, with crowds totaling nearly 10 times Crowley’s population and earning Crowley the nickname of “The Best Little Baseball Town in the World.” The Best Little Baseball Town in the World: The Crowley Millers and Minor League Baseball in the 1950s tells the fun, quirky story of Crowley, Louisiana, in the fifties, a story that reads more like fiction than nonfiction. The Crowley Millers’ biggest star was Conklyn Meriwether, a slugger who became infamous after he retired when he killed his in-laws with an axe. Their former manager turned out to be a con man, dying in jail while awaiting trial on embezzlement charges. The 1951 team was torn to pieces after their young centerfielder was struck and killed by lightning during a game. But aside from the tragedy and turmoil, the Crowley Millers also played some great baseball and were the springboard to stardom for George Brunet and Dan Pfister, two Crowley pitchers who made it to the majors. Interviews with players from the team bring to light never-before-heard stories and inside perspectives on minor league baseball in the fifties, including insight into the social and racial climate of the era, and the inability of baseball in the fifties to help players deal with off-the-field problems. Written by respected minor-league baseball historian Gaylon H. White, The Best Little Baseball Town in the World is a fascinating tale for baseball fans and historians alike.

Regina calls off her wedding at the last minute—she couldn’t marry a man she loved but wasn’t in love with. Only one man fell into that category—Buck. However, after their one and only kiss years ago, he’d turned tail and run, leaving her confused and heartbroken. The last thing Buck expects a few days after retiring from the military is to inherit a ski resort. That solves his problem of trying to decide what to do now that he’s a civilian again. But he also has to face his PTSD and one big regret head on. For six years, his best friend’s sister, Regina, had been out of sight but not quite out of Buck’s mind. Now, with them both living in Largo Ridge again, it’s getting harder to ignore the attraction growing stronger between them. Does Buck have the courage to stand up and love the woman his heart knows is his? And will Regina let him?
