"EXCELLENT BOOK.This is the true story of a 15 year old boy with an incredible skill as a catcher in baseball. He is actually drafted onto a major league team but world war 2 breaks out and his path changes . . . eventually he even ends up teaching german prisoners of war how to play baseball!! This is a gut wrenching book about dreams, and life, and what is really the most important."
"Even if you a not a baseball fan, this is a captivating true story about a young teenager who is destined for baseball's hall of fame, but his goals are temporary interrupted by the outbreak of WWII. He enlists in the Navy and becomes a member of the Navy's exhibition team playing for the troops in North Africa and in Italy before being transferred back to the US as a guard at a German POW camp. A fun and enlightening story that should be on everyone's summer reading list."
"This book had it all for me - lots of baseball, WW II history, and best of all, extremely local references. It seems like the Moore family is almost our neighbors!"
"There is no happy ending in life sometimes, but sometimes, you do things in your life that turn out to be bigger than even you realize.
The story of Gene Moore is inspirational, and if you like baseball, you will love this book.
Side note: If you have ever walked through the U-505 at Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry, this book gives insight into the story of the Nazi submarine captured during WWII and its crew members."
