Endorsed by Bruce Springsteen: "Wonderful job of capturing Freehold's passion for our beloved game of baseball. We all played! Brings back fond memories of my ball-playing days, even when I was called out on strikes.

" - Kevin Coyne, Author of Marching Home: To War and Back With the Men of One American Town ; Adjunct Professor, Columbia School of Journalism; and Freehold historian.
