Mr. Tony Kubek (Author)
Tony Kubek played with the New York Yankees for just over eight years. Those teams won seven American League pennants and three world championships. Tony was selected for several all-star teams. After retiring as a player, he worked 24 years for NBC TV as an analyst. In addition, he spent 13 seasons telecasting Toronto Blue Jay games on a Canadian television network. His last five years broadcasting were spent working for the Madison Square Garden TV Network doing Yankee games. Tony was elected to the broadcaster wing (Ford Frick Award) of the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, the National Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame, where a media award is given annually in his name. Tony and his wife Margaret have been active as volunteers in their community. They participated in a program that assists Hmong to assimilate into the community and currently serve on the board of directors for the Alternative Center for Education (ACE), a non-profit that evaluates and treats individuals with learning disabilities. Tony is certified to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) and taught Latino men. He also helped start a Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) with a farmer friend. Margaret and Tony reside in Wisconsin with their children and grandchildren.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Two young boys/men from disparate cultural and socioeconomic strata endure the pangs of bigotry. They are deemed expendable, each victimized by zeitgeist fomented by xenophobia.

Despite taunts and ridicule, they survive the narrow-mindedness. The protagonist is unwittingly entangled in an anti-government militia that threatens his and his family’s safety.

He is also cajoled into joining a controversial research project. The other boy/man faces imminent death.

They never meet but are linked by an ethereal symbiosis. Bert and Tanako were often within shouting distance, once at Hiroshima, Japan, on the other side of the world.

Tony Kubek played with the New York Yankees for just over eight years. The teams won seven American League titles and three world championships.

After retiring as a player, he worked 24 years for NBC TV. Along with it, he spent 13 seasons telecasting Toronto Blue Jays games.

He retired from broadcasting after working five years for the Madison Square Garden TV Network doing Yankee games. Tony collaborated with Terry Pluto on the book 61 chronicling the Yankees’ 1961 season.

The novel is not about baseball though epigraphs are occasionally used chronicling historical events. .
