Mikel D. Smith Launches Marketing Campaign for ‘The Somerset Ball’
LEXINGTON, Ky. (PRWEB) July 28, 2016 -- In “The Somerset Ball: From Wiffle Ball to Brooks Stadium: A Journey to the 1970 KHSAA Tournament” (published by iUniverse), author Mikel D. Smith shares his memories of childhood and the role baseball played in his life. Now embarking on a marketing campaign to promote the book, he tells the story of the 1970 Tilghman High School baseball team that defied expectations to become a real contender.
Making it to the Kentucky State High School tournament, Smith shares his team’s 1970 season and provides a tribute to the great players across the state. With photographs, statistics, news accounts and personal memories, “The Somerset Ball” is a story about growing up in the Midwest and the lasting impact of sports.
“The book was written for all people who grew up in the 1960s, who enjoy or played youth sports, and my teammates at Paducah Tilghman. I hope that it will bring back good memories of that era for people throughout Kentucky,” says Smith.
