by Michael Tackett
From the jacket flap
From an award-winning journalist, a real-lifeField of Dreamsstory about a legendary coach and theprofessional-caliber baseball program he built in America s heartland, where boys comesummer after summer to be molded intoballplayers and men
Clarinda, Iowa, population 5,000, sits two hours from anything. There, between the corn fields and hog yards, is a ball field with a bronze bust of a man named Merl Eberly, a baseball whisperer who specialized in second chances and lost causes.The statue was a gift from one of Merl s original long-shot projects, a skinny kid from the ghetto in Los Angeles who would one day become a beloved Hall of Fame shortstop: Ozzie Smith.
The Baseball Whisperertraces the remarkable story of Merl Eberly and his Clarinda A s baseball team, which he tended over the course of five decades, transforming it from a town team to a collegiate summer league powerhouse. Along with Ozzie Smith, future manager Bud Black, and star player Von Hayes, Merl developed scores of major leaguers (six of which are currently playing). In the process, Merl taught them to be men, insisting on hard work, integrity, and responsibility.
More than a book about ballplayers who landed in the nation s agricultural heartland, The Baseball Whisperer is the story of a coach who put character and dedication first, and reminds us of the best, purest form of baseball excellence.
