In 1946 when an energetic, stong-armed young marine with a world of confidence laid down a challenge that would alter sports history forever. From that humble beginning, using only himself and three other players; a first baseman, catcher and shortstop, the King and His Court engaged full-team squads winning over 9,700 contests. His life is part Hollywood, part Harlem Globetrotters, and part God-given athletic genius. The stories of eight decades of international travel, memorable games and incredible obstacles that the team ovecame are sure to inspire and entertain sports fans and general readers alike.
