"The Flip Side of Greatness" Author Chris Williams Talks Baseball & Bozos on the Sunbury Press Books Show

A love of baseball, its players, characters, and quirks has sparked numerous books over the decades, including a series by Chris Williams. In an avowed tongue-in-cheek manner, Williams bestows "honors" on players who were members of some of Major League Baseball's greatest teams but didn't necessarily stand out in terms of stats. The Flip Side of Greatness: The Baseball Bozo Award, 1920-1999 takes a look at some familiar players one might not think belong on such a list. Williams, along with host and Sunbury Press Founder/CEO Lawrence Knorr, discusses some of those who made the cut and delves into which of their beloved Philadelphia Phillies might rate a spot in a future work.A broadcaster for over three decades, Chris Williams is a veteran freelance writer with several books and three volumes of historical baseball essays. He is a regular contributor to the Baseball Almanac website and a former member of the Central Pennsylvania chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research. His works on Sunbury Press include Stealing First and Other Old-Time Baseball Stories, and I am Not a Baseball Bozo: Honoring Good Players Who Played on Terrible Teams - 1920 to 1999.Along with being a writer and essayist, Chris is a Certified Level 3 Dog Trainer. He lives in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
