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.
