Here, at length, are discussions of players, coaches, managers, and general managers with whom he spent 17 years of professional baseball. Here are batting tips that converted him from a singles hitter to a feared home-run slugger.Here is Ryne the human being, Ryne the father, and Ryno the ball player.
