A look at the short-lived Senior Professional Baseball League, which lasted just one-and-a-half seasons from 1989 to 1991. Author David Whitford keeps it interesting and fun as he travels from game to game throughout Florida, getting insights and stories from dozens of players old and new. Worth a read, especially if you're a fan of '70s and '80s baseball.
Todd was born in Ohio on the same day former Indians manager Ossie Vitt passed away; he became a Reds fan seven years later, attended 'Johnny Bench Nite' at Riverfront Stadium in 1983, and gave up on professional baseball entirely during the 1994 baseball strike. Currently, he resides in Arizona, where SP78 Replay and tapes of televised games from the ‘70s and ‘80s are his last links to the sport that deserted him.

When I searched Google Images for “1978 San Diego Stadium”, the Kessler publication shown here was included in the results. I’m telling you that because by mentioning it, you should see this image move to the top of the page.
And I thank you for promoting the page! (Which had been removed from the site, and will be returned to the SP78 Museum immediately). I’m actually in the process of adding a few more publications to that page, as well as some game programs and ticket stubs to their respective dropdowns as well.
