Minnesota History Review
As I have mentioned, there is a review of “Chief Bender’s Burden” in the summer issue of Minnesota History magazine. Now, finally — so as to appease the masses clamoring for a follow-up — is an excerpt that is, coincidentally, from my favorite part: “This is a book worth reading and owning. It is well written and the research extensive and impressive. It is clearly the definitive biography of Charles Albert Bender and should be read and enjoyed by all those interested in baseball and all those who find human tragedies and triumphs both inspiring and instructive.”

"Chief Bender's Burden" has won the 2009 Seymour Medal, which recognizes the best work of baseball history during the preceding calendar year. Thanks awards committee, Dorothy Seymour Mills, the Society for American Baseball Research, and readers!
