A worthy sequel to "Aaron to Zuverink," which was a "Where-Are-They-Now" on baseball players of the 1950's; this one covers the '60's. The stories are sometimes impressive, sometimes poignant or unfortunate, and always interesting. As in the first volume, the authors include material from interviews with some of the players, also many curious statistical tidbits (like, "so-and-so was the third of three children, and in his first year in the majors he had 3 triples, and in his best year he hit .333"). Some of the items include little references to contemporary events which help to frame the material of the book. You'll find yourself wishing for additional sequels for the '70's and '80's, and you'll be in awe of the authors' research. By the way, in this volume's title, "Aaron" actually refers to TOMMY, not Henry!!
