I don't think you could find, in the history of baseball, any other
player who suffered as many setbacks as Roy Sievers did, and still
prevail to become one of the most feared and respected hitters in
1950's baseball. After having an award winning rookie season in
1949, Roy, from 1950 to 1953, suffered through a year and a half of
a slump, a devastating, near career ending injury and a major
position change, only to come back in 1954 and become the
Washington Senators' franchise home run leader and the biggest gate
attraction since Walter Johnson. Aside from a few short on-line
biographies citing dry statistics, there has never been an in-depth
look into Roy Sievers, the person. In my interviews with Roy and
his teammates, I came to realize there was more to him than just
numbers. Here was a baseball player who fought tremendous adversity
to go on to lead a decrepit baseball franchise into some semblance
of propriety, all the while remaining kind, humble, and
considerate. It was the character, the essence of the man that
prompted the writing of this book.
