John Kocsis

We have the "Voice of the Fireflies" here at our store to sign his new book Play-by-Play from the Minors.  John Kocsis is a baseball broadcaster with experience covering the West Virginia Power, Hagerstown Suns, and Columbia Fireflies. He lives in Columbia, South Carolina.

For the reader interested in learning more about working in sports--or the fan that wants a look at what those inside the radio booth go through day-to-day--this book contains the secrets and successes of minor league baseball broadcasters with a combined century of experience telling the story of America's pastime. A host of decorated industry veterans discuss their careers, sharing tales of baseball greats from before they were famous, players who didn't make it past Class-A, the zaniest promotional exercises to hit the market, some of small-town America's greatest cuisine, the highs of winning a championship and the lows of being stranded on the highway for hours.
