The author of the new baseball Delayed Steal was interviewed by the Ashland (OR) Observer.

According to the article, the book

…is chock full of interesting what-do-you-knows: that the author’s father played in the bush leagues of New England against future Hall of Famer Leo “Gabby” Hartnett; that Hartnett’s sister Anna played alongside her brothers in the bush leagues; and that, playing for Wesleyan University, Umpleby’s father got a double off Columbia pitcher Lou Gehrig.

Delayed Steal expands this material into a collection of stories about the relationship between a father and son.
