Pug Fireball and Company

Lifelong baseball fan Steve Dunn captures 116 years of Des Moines, Iowa, professional baseball history with a distinctive look at the players, managers, and owners who have contributed to an Iowa Sports Institution. The city’s ballparks that have hosted such stars as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bob Feller, Tony La Russa, Ryne Sandberg, Satchel Paige, and Buck O’Neil are also chronicled.
