- In his new book The Children of Vaughn, Terry Simons presents an entertaining, engaging and informative overview of professional baseball in Portland, Oregon, 1901-2010. This story is filled with memorable characters and shady dealings, up and coming players and reborn veterans, and Simons manages to infuse the dates and events of history with dramatic energy. Along the way, short chapter introductions create a subtext of loss, of the fall of baseball as America's entertainment soul, giving the story more than regional interest. 24 pages of wonderful historic photographs complete the package.
A wonderful book! Get a copy for yourself and one for a friend. Remember what baseball used to be.
