[ Scroll down to learn more about the book ]




BOOK DESCRIPTION

Think you know football? Not until you ride along with "Sweet Lou" Hammond as he
pursues his dream of officiating in the National Football League — a dream he
discovers comes at a steep price.

More than a sports journal, Lou’s story is a hilarious and heroic journey from
the hardscrabble lot at Baltimore’s Radecke Park to the manicured lawn at M&T
Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. His whistle-stops to success include
every level of the game from sandlot to professional. Go behind the scenes and
learn about the third team that plays every down. See the game between the white
lines and from the press box. Meet the players, owners, and fans who created
today’s football juggernaut.

As “Sweet Lou” says: "It’s the best seat in the house, but you have to stand."
