The long history of baseball in the United States is filled with stories of people who may have never become famous but have nonetheless contributed to the tapestry of the game along the way. In Missing the Cutoff Man, former player, coach, and agent Jack Chambless takes the reader on a five-decade journey through baseball, sharing stories that are both ridiculously funny and heartwarming, as well as bizarre and instructive for players, fans, coaches, and, most importantly, fathers. From his days as a player in rural Oklahoma to his contributions to the economic development of baseball, he provides the reader with fascinating insights into all aspects of the National Pastime. Most importantly, this book offers important reminders of why parents should not take one day with their children for granted.
