"The only one I ever saw come close to [Frank Robinson], was this kid Bagwell. Boy, is he aggressive... boy can he swing that bat....I want to meet him someday because I admire him." -Ted Williams "You get ball players from Texas, California, Florida or one or all of the Caribbean islands. You don't get them from Connecticut." So wrote Jim Murray, Pulitzer-prize-winning columnist about Jeff Bagwell on May 12, 1994. This volume of articles, interviews, and essays by members of the Connecticut chapter of SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) chronicles the life and career of Connecticut's favorite baseball son, Hall-of-Famer Jeff Bagwell, with special attention on his high school, college, and minor league years in his native New England.
