Lyman Bostock: The Inspiring Life And Tragic Death Of A Ballplayer

Lyman Bostock was a professional baseball player for the Minnesota Twins (1975-1977) and the California Angels (1978). Bostock grew up in Los Angeles in the 1950s and 60s and was a fine ballplayer who, by all accounts, was an ever better citizen. Caught in the middle of a random set of circumstances, Bostock was murdered in Gary, Indiana, at just 27 years of age. This book tells the story of Bostock s humble beginnings, his coming-of-age in Los Angeles and involvement in the Black Power movement, his storied baseball career, and his tragic death."
