(from Barnes & Noble):

"Baseball as we know it has a distinct Jersey flavor. In fact, the first baseball game under modern rules was played on Elysian Fields in Hoboken. But as the diamond sport became the national pastime, interest in local minor league teams slowly waned. By the 1950s, the advent of television and proximity of New York stadiums made New Jersey baseball a vestige of what it had once been. Matters brightened in 1994 with the arrival of the Trenton Thunder, a Double-A Eastern League franchise. The team, now sponsored by the Yankees, has thrived between the foul lines, but staying financially solvent remains a challenge. Bob Golon's No Minor Accomplishment recounts the heroic ongoing battle to spark hometown interest and investors. An inspiring book for anyone who loves baseball and values community spirit."
