In addition:
I would like to thank my wife, Corey, who during a very busy time in our lives allowed me to live a dream, I love you very much. My children, Shawn and Sam, for their love, patience, and understanding, for without it this would not have been possible.
Ray and KerryI recall a story told on March 14th, 1991, "... we'll meet back here in Cooperstown on the third Thursday...", well guys I was wrong, Cooperstown came to us. Thanks for uncovering a drive and desire in me, I couldn't ask for two better friends.
To everyone else in my family, thanks for all your interest, support and well wishes.

The man who is able to engage in an endeavor for which he has a deep passion is truly blessed. The opportunity to share in the creative process with two very special friends makes him doubly so. To my partners David and Ray, we have completed a long occasionally arduous journey. I cannot think of two characters with whom I'd rather taken the trip.
Dick Thompson has been a great source of both reference material and inspiration, leading by example in the field of baseball research.
Large amounts of inspiration were provided by my great friend David Flebotte, who quietly demonstrates that a dream plus perseverance equals achievements of which to be proud.
