W. Reising and Robert Reising"AnnotationMany people may not know that "Moonlight" Graham, the memorable character played by Burt Lancaster in the movie FIELD OF DREAMS, was actually a real person, and a real major league baseball player. Fans of the film will remember that Graham only played in one major league game, and he never got the chance to bat. Brett Friedlander and Robert Reising relate the history behind Moonlight's hard-luck baseball career, as well as his achievements as a doctor and philanthropist which marked his true calling in life. Archie "Doc" Graham is not just a fictional character in Robinson's cinematic classic Field of Dreams. But what's the real story of Moonlight Graham? In Chasing Moonlight, the authors follow Graham's life from his youth spent with his younger brother, Frank Porter Graham, who became the president of the University of North Carolina and a United States Senator; through his career as a medical student in Baltimore and New York while he played baseball at the same time; through his minor league successes in Scranton, Pennsylvania; to his one and a half innings in a major league game. In Graham's Minnesota years, the authors reveal a man whose pioneering research on children's blood pressure is still used at institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and whose quiet philanthropy made him beloved in his community.
