    Don Deeble:  the man behind the legend

    Kingsley Collins

    28 August 2018

     

    Alumni members and supporters will be interested in the recent publication of “Don Deeble: the man behind the legend” – a project undertaken by Mike Deeble, himself a former Claxton Shield and Australian baseballer who was keen to chronicle the life and achievements of his charismatic and skilled late father, a member of the Baseball Australia Hall of Fame.

     

    The illustrated publication includes captivating anecdotes, memories and insights provided by a cross-section of Australian baseball people who were privileged to spend time – on and off the diamond – with this fierce competitor and colourful personality who rightly enjoys legendary status in our version of the sport.

     

    A must-read for baseball aficionados, “Don Deeble: the man behind the legend” has been a labour of love for Mike Deeble, who has covered production costs himself and has provided complimentary copies of the book to his valued contributors.

     

    Among those people, I feel personally honoured that Mike Deeble invited me to provide some modest assistance with the project.

     

    Extra copies can be purchased for $ 20.00 (excluding postage) by emailing cdeeble5@hotmail.com
