4 out of 5 stars The "Wild Hoss of the Osage" comes to life!.......2003-12-24

This is an excellent biography of one of baseball's truly remarkable characters. Although names like Dizzy Dean, Frankie Frisch and Leo Durocher are more reknowned, Pepper Martin was the true heart and soul of the legendary "Gashouse Gang" Cardinals team of the 1930's and Barthel leaves no stone unturned in detailing the life of this unique and talented ballplayer from yesteryear. News article references chronicling his World Series exploits are included and serve as a glimpse back to a time when a signing bonus consisted of a couple of hunting dogs and a Winchester rifle.

Also included are numerous AP and never before seen photographs and illustrations.

Pepper Martin was truly one of a kind and this book captures the essence of his life and character.
