WHAT THE READERS HAVE BEEN SAYING
Bob, received my copy of the book. Thanks so much. I love the book even though it doesn’t have color on the inside… MS
I received my copy in the mail today, a “must have” for fastpitch fans. I am honored to have the story I wrote about Dave Blackburn, “Game Changer” included as the second to last chapter in the book. Get yours before that headline says “Sold Out” (it’s a limited edition at this point) – JF
I got the book and it is fantastic. I will be reading it cover to cover. – DM
…I thought it was pretty good reading and flowed very well. There is a wide variety of topics regarding some current and some older time players. It is truly a coffee table book – MB
It looks great, congratulations, I know the work that goes into something like that – KB
Bob, great book. Great history and information. Lots of good photos… a lot of some friends – Rico Garcia, Todd Kensler, Hector Garcia Guillen, Tony N Denise Trujillo Mancha, Joe Hineline and more. Good stories from the old days and good info on today’s young players… – MC
Please send a copy of your book. Your interest in the game has been rewarding for many. Thank you – JB
Bob got the book, awesome, made me remember what a great game this is and what a great time I was lucky enough to play it in. It made me sad at times and made me almost smell the wet grass of a early morning game and the excitement of the competition. – GA
Bob, always enjoy reading your articles. Hope to read them for many more years. – AC
Great book! – ML
Got the copy of We Play It Fast last week. Was rushed for time, so I picked it up for a minute to flip through some pages … and ended up reading about half of the book. Great read, and I will recommend it to others. – Cheers, DM,
