That gives the author and his team just about 5 months to conceive the idea for the book, convince the publisher it's a good enough idea to print, research the immensely vast topic of Baseball, write an outline, contact all references needed, write a first draft, revise the draft, submit to editor, make edits, submit to editor again, revise again, objectively decide if as written it's a good enough story to tell, write the forward, get it in front of the publisher. The forward to the book was written by the author on March 8th, 2012. The events the book is primarily written about took place on September 28th, 2011. If I'm going to give the book 1 star I should attempt to explain why. “Paul Kocak hits an ‘inside the park homer.’ What a night!” - Len Berman, Sportscaster/Author
“With Baseball’s Starry Night, Paul Kocak captures an unforgettable moment in time in powerful, passionate prose that will bring fans to their feet all over again.” - Greg Tobin, former editor-in-chief of Book-of-the-Month Club, Inc. “A retelling unlike any other of the greatest night in baseball regular-season history.” - Chris Mallonee And in this beautifully written book, he takes us not merely inside the astonishing ups and downs of this unforgettable evening, but inside the hearts and minds of ‘ordinary’ people - the fans whose pulse rates haven’t come down yet.” - Jayson Stark, Senior Baseball Writer Thankfully, Paul Kocak volunteered for the job. Somebody needed to write a book about that night. It was a night that will forever be frozen in baseball time. This beautifully told story captures baseball at its very best.” - Doris Kearns Goodwin “This is a magical book about a magical night. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays provide exciting and deeply personal eyewitness accounts - either from the stadiums or their living rooms. Going beyond a standard retelling of the balls and strikes and homers and webgems, the book hears from 20 fans in their own words. Baseball's Starry Night gives you a fan's-eye view of a night that many have called the most exciting night in the history of Major League Baseball.
