If you want a look at what baseball was like in the 1970 and 80s, definitely pick up a copy of this book. Many guys who are now considered greats of the game are mentioned in this book.

Mike is on page 51 of 279 of Johnny Carson
I grew up listening to and watching Johnny Carson on late night TV. I knew somewhat of his personal live outside of the show, but not a lot.

Henry Bushkin opens that door a bit wider with his book.
