For too long, the history of independent semipro teams has been hidden in the shadows of organized baseball. The book – The Doherty Silk Sox, “The Lost History of Baseball’s Maverick Independent Team” by Jack DeVries, represented by Bob Diforio of the D4EO Literary Agency – unlocks a world where semipro players, major leaguers and Negro leaguers battle on the same field, and the mighty Babe Ruth roams.

The Doherty Silk Sox is a page-turning story combining history and sports, set in one of America’s most dynamic and colorful time periods. By the end of the story, readers will be openly rooting for the Silk Sox against Ruth and his mighty New York Yankees … and cheering as they win.
