Celebrate father-son baseball legacies: draft drama, scouting secrets, and moving stories. Robert V. Hurte Jr.'s The Baseball Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree

Bob Hurte has written a new book called The Baseball Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree. I think all baseball fans will enjoy Bob's detailed account of Major League Baseball's amateur draft which started in 1965 and continues today. He talks about Professional scouting and how organizations make decisions pertaining to the draft. However, the bulk of the book is about Fathers and Sons gifted with the skills to play Major League Baseball from which the title of the book refers to. I found it very interesting to read about Tom & Neil Walker, Tom and Ben Grieve, and Bobby Witt Sr. and Bobby Witt Jr. among many others. A good read, for sure and it brought back a lot of personal memories for me personally as I worked with several people mentioned in the book, scouted many of the players and watched many of them play from the opposing dugout!
