What others are saying about "Buffalo, Home of the Braves"?
" 'Buffalo, Home of the Braves" tells the story that has remained on the shelf for far too long." Rick Azar, longtime Buffalo sportscaster
" Books of sports history are typically rote recitations of long ago, as dry as decades-gone boxscores. Not so with 'Buffalo, Home of the Braves', in which Tim and Chris Wendel turn the twin tricks of bringing the Buffalo Braves AND The Courier-Express back to life in a seamless narrative, chock-a-block with time-capsule photos and bull's-eye insights, all framed by selected 1970s columns from Phil Ranallo, smooth as a two-for-McAdoo jumper." Erik Brady, nationally known writer, Buffalo native
