Fran Zimniuch is an award-winning journalist and columnist who has written for various newspapers and national magazines for more than two decades about subjects ranging from breaking news events, business trends, and jewelry to sports. His previous books include Phillies: Where Have You Gone?, Eagles: Where Have You Gone?, and Richie Ashburn Remembered. He lives in Sicklerville, New Jersey.
In Fran Zimniuch's book, Shortened Seasons, there is more than a
measure of sweet sorrow. Sweet because the loss of someone you love
offers the chance to tap into the deep feelings you had for them,
feelings you may not have known were hidden in the folds of your
heart and soul. His new book revives the imnages of baseball heroes
who died too soon. I hope that for you, as for me, this book will
not be a funeral, but a celebration of life."
*Larry Dierker, former Major League pitcher, manager, and
broadcaster, and author of This Ain't Brain Surgery and
My Team*
Shortened Seasons is a great read. It reminds us that professional
athletes, no matter how high a pedestal we, or the media, place
them on, are only human and are subject to the same life rules as
the rest of society.
*Mike Schmidt, Hall of Fame third baseman and author of Clearing
the Bases*
You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate Shortened Seasons
by Fran Zimniuch. It's a heartfelt glimpse into success and
tragedy, but most of all it provides perspective on our sometimes
triumphant, sometimes fragile journey around the bases.
*Larry Colton, former Major League pitcher and author of Goat
Brothers and Pulitzer-Prize nominated Counting Coup*
