Meandering Through the Minor Leagues: One Announcer's Thoughts From Myrtle Beach to Montana

By Garry Griffith

Garry Griffith has worked as a professional minor league baseball announcer for 20 years. His announcing trek has taken him from Myrtle Beach to Montana. Along the way he chronicled his travels in print and a selection of his writings appear in this book.Running away with the circus is a reoccurring theme in American culture. Although Griffith has never run away with a circus, he has run away on more than one occasion with a professional minor league baseball team. This is not a book that analyzes the game of baseball, nor individual baseball games. Instead Griffith presents to us, through the lenses of minor league baseball, the creative people he met along the way. His stories range from a man who sold chessesteak sandwiches in the stadium in Wilmington, Del. to the bus drivers who drove the teams. Expanding beyond baseball, Garry includes a story about an ocean lifeguard in his 50s. This book will pique your interest in the diversity of people that are all around us. In Garry's life, some of those people just happened to have worked or played in professional minor league baseball.You are invited to 'meander' with Griffith through the lives of those whom he writes about.
