The Hurricane North Ward Softball Team of 1962

 

This is a terrible picture of a wonderful book.  Written by Ken's oldest brother, Jim, it is the story of a ragtag team of softball players from the tiny town of Hurricane, Utah who win 2nd place in the biggest softball tournament in the world in the summer of 1962.  At that time, the church hosted an annual softball tournament.  Jim was a member of that team.  Jim has written several books, but I think this might be his best.  He is an amazing writer.  I am an avid reader, but rarely does a book capture my attention and keep it as this book did.  In my opinion, it should be widely published.  I think everyone would enjoy it.  5 plus stars from me!
