"Nixon was president, the Nashua River was factory-polluted, and we felt safe commuting to summer baseball games in the back of our coach's Ford pickup. I never met Mark Lefebvre but grew up playing central Mass baseball and Mark's experiences are my experiences. Enjoy the universal truths of this simpler time."

Mark Lefebvre, who lived it, affectionately recalls a magical time in the life of a central Massachusetts mill town when baseball was at the center of the universe and championships were forged by a group of teenaged boys who channeled their passion for the game and for each other into an unforgettable ride.
