Great small town comedy

Knopf, 2007

Don't believe everything you read in the NY Times!
Debby Applegate in the May 20, 2007 NY Times describes this as a "flawed family biography" although she admits it is "fascinating." It is indeed a fascinating family saga which resulted in great legacies to the National Gallery in Washington, DC; the Clark museum in Williamstown, MA; the Modern and Metropolitan museums in NYC; and several cultural institutions in Cooperstown, NY; not to mention ...

Another emotional baseball saga from Tom Stanton
Like Tom Stanton's first book about Tiger Stadium's final season, this book combines great baseball stories into a family pilgramage. We learn not only about Cooperstown, but what it means to Stanton and his family. We get to know the Stantons in the same intimate way we come to know Cooperstown. You will very much enjoy this book.

Jim Reisler

Da Capo Press, 2006

A great day to read this book
Like a relaxing train ride, "A Great Day in Cooperstown" is a wonderful trip to the past. Mr. Reisler captures the mood and tempo of an earlier time, when the heroes were giants and baseball was the apple of the nation's eye. Myths are gently laid aside and bronze plaques are left in their place. If only things were still so simple.

This Side of Cooperstown: An Oral History of Major League Baseball in the 1950s

Baseball players are storytellers, and this book is a collection of stories about the game told by players from the 1950s. These are tales from the dozens of excellent players who loved the game and played it for many seasons, although not accumulating statistics that would enshrine them in the bronze of Cooperstown. Their experiences speak to us with confidence and insight, providing a perspective of the game in its entirety.
