by Glenn Cashion (Author)
Remember 100 Years of Early Baseball in Small-Town America
Part history book, part memoir, Baseball Is in My DNA traces the history of baseball in Freehold, New Jersey-and the intertwined story of the Cashion family.
Endorsed by Bruce Springsteen:
"Wonderful job of capturing Freehold's passion for our beloved game of baseball. We all played! Brings back fond memories of my ball-playing days, even when I was called out on strikes. Baseball mirrors the history of this country, and this book provides a rich
journey through those old glory days."
In addition to a broad look at the growth of baseball throughout the region, Cashion shares intimate insights, including terrific stories about his brother, "Mr. Baseball of Freehold," David "Dem" Cashion. Photographs, newspaper articles, and players' recollections bring to life more than 100 years of the "baseball stronghold" in the Garden State, including:
- Early rules
- Team rosters
- Tryout tales
- Eccentric ball players
"Baseball was everything and everywhere in Glenn's hometown, and in unearthing and telling these stories, he also tells the story of a love affair with America's game-his own, his family's, his town's, and his country's."
- Kevin Coyne, Author of Marching Home: To War and Back With the Men of One American Town; Adjunct Professor, Columbia School of Journalism; and Freehold historian.
Gift your baseball enthusiast with a treasure trove of baseball history in Freehold, New Jersey.
"A beacon into the spectacular history of Freehold baseball. Glenn's meticulous research and narrative offer insight into what Freehold's baseball culture was like over the last 100+ years. As a teammate on the Freehold Townsmen, I found the section on Dem's fantastic baseball life to be captivating."
- Roger Kane, Former Mayor of Freehold, NJ; and Member of the Freehold Townsmen baseball team.
