Book Synopsis Borchert Field by : Bob Buege
Book excerpt: Ty Cobb, Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, Curly Lambeau, and singer Cab Calloway--these and many more famous athletes and entertainers crossed the same, legendary home plate--at Milwaukee's Borchert Field, a major sports venue for 64 years. Here, baseball historian Bob Buege reintroduces sports fans to this rickety wooden stadium where, for generations, sports was made, along with a few rodeos, thrill shows, presidential visits, and even multiple eruptions of Mount Vesuvius!
