A Must Read For Anyone Who Took Part In This Tournament

I visited Farmington, NM and Ricketts Field, as a sponsor of a team, in l979, l981 and l982. It is a great tournament and the families with whom the young fellows stayed were great. Infact the whole town was gracious. Any player or parent would be happy to have this book as a keepsake. It is very interesting and it lists every player that ever played in the tournament. I was told about this book and ordered it right away and I'm not dissapointed. I have ordered another and probably by the time I finish telling everyone back here in the Flint, Michigan area, they will want one too!
