520 |a In No Minor Accomplishment, sports historian and New Jersey native Bob Golon tells the story of the state?s baseball scene since the Trenton Thunder arrived in 1994. Drawing on interviews with team owners and employees, industry executives and fans, Golon goes behind the scenes to show how maintaining a minor league ball club can be a risky business venture.
