“Few in baseball have had their hearts broken and dreams dashed so suddenly as Boo Ferriss six decades ago. Far fewer still have gone on to enrich the sport, and the world around them so much or with such grace.” Rick Cleveland, columnist for The Clarion-Ledger and author of Boo: A Life in Baseball, Well-Lived penned those words about Mississippi icon Boo Ferriss.

In Boo: A Life in Baseball, Well-Lived, the life of Boo Ferriss and his impact on the sport he loves is chronicled by Mississppi’s premier sportswriter Rick Cleveland, and includes a foreword by best-selling author John Grisham.
