Coles A Wonderful Waste Of Time: Tales From a Summer in the Press Box with the Windy City ThunderBolts and Independent Baseball at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Millions of children around the world dream of growing up to play professional baseball. Not many of them are aiming for the Frontier League. While affiliated Minor Leaguers try to claw their way to the Majors, members of the independent Windy City ThunderBolts just want to crack the affiliated ranks. But as the players dream of moving on, a more immediate goal develops for the team: making the playoffs and hoisting the Frontier League trophy at the end of the season. A Wonderful Waste of Time follows the ThunderBolts from the perspective of radio broadcaster Terry Bonadonna. He offers a behind the scenes look at summer in unaffiliated minor league ball, from the front office to the field to the press box. Long hours, low pay, uncomfortable bus rides...the life of a minor league broadcaster isn't exactly glamorous. But this book reminds you why no time is truly a waste when you're at the ballpark, where each summer, and on each night, anything can happen.
