There's a Bulldozer on Home Plate cover

The "father of Independent Baseball," Miles Wolff recounts his 50-year career in the game and how his experiences lead to the founding of the modern independent game, with some opposition from the existing major and minor leagues. Along the way, he describes how the movie Bull Durham came to be made and covers the history of minor league ball's growth from mom-and-pop operations to major business endeavors.

“You will not regret picking this one up. More likely than not you’ll learn something new about independent ball and Miles Wolff. You’ll gain an appreciation for what it took for us to get here and, if nothing else, you’ll scratch the inch of indy ball content for the few days it takes you to read this one. I’d recommend it to the majority of those reading this review because I know you’re the kind of person that’ll appreciate the story of Miles Wolff.”—Indy Ball Report
“It is a memoir that is entertaining, frank, informative, and most significantly, not at all self-serving…Mr. Wolff, unlike other authors who write autobiographically, is scrupulously accurate with his vivid recollections”—The Windham Eagle
