Commendation Quotes:
"The national pastime has a rich history in the nation's capital, and Frederic Frommer tells this fascinating story splendidly. No fan's library should be without this book". -- George F. Will, The Washington Post "Washington baseball history is full of characters: from Dummy Hoy to The Big Train, from Sam Rice to Ted Williams, Frank Robinson to Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. You Gotta Have Heart is a fun read as diverse and adventurous as the capital city itself. Stroll down the Boulevard de Base Ball and revisit the Golden Age of the '20s, the brilliance of the Negro Leagues, and the loss of the Senators, twice! The new Nationals aren't going anywhere, and neither are you once you pick up this gem. Good luck putting it down!" -- Bob Carpenter, sportscaster and announcer for the Washington Nationals "For those of us who sat watching the Washington Nationals before they became good--and were grateful for the opportunity--and who drive by the site of the old Griffith Stadium wondering what it was like in the really old days of Washington baseball, Fred Frommer's authoritative history is an absolute treat--as it will be for anybody who just happens to like a good baseball yarn." -- Jerry Seib, Washington bureau chief, The Wall Street Journal
