Publisher's Synopsis
"Austin, Pa.'s Major Leaguer" tells the story of Mark Corey, one of 18 graduates of Austin High School in 1992. This book traces Mark's determined, but detoured trek to baseball's big leagues. It's a tale of one family's love, guidance and support, but it also recognizes residents living in sparsely populated villages and towns in northern Pennsylvania and the role that youth athletics plays in the morale and fabric of a small community. It shines a spotlight on the past and present achievements of many whose actions on the field or court united citizens and created memories that defy the march of time.
