This is my dad's book on the history of professional Roller Derby, the outlaw leagues, the Chicago Mob's (Capone's mob) involvement, and more. It includes his personal insights as a fan growimng up, a member of the banked track (playing "field") crew, a professional skater, referee, coach and general manager,collector, and historian. Some of his photography is included, along with many other rare photos. He designed the front and back covers, and layed out the entire book and photo section.
