 Ron
Silliman's baseball career was impeded by the fact that he was a
slow, left-handed second baseman who couldn't hit a fast ball. He
has been a semester's credits short of a B.A. degree at U.C.
Berkeley now for 37 years. These days, he lives in Chester County,
Pennsylvania. His most recent book is Under Albany.
