"Gobsmacked! Thunderstruck! Awed! Nearly two decades ago as a Fort Myers News-Press sportswriter I wrote a local history story about a murky and forgotten minor-league baseball team called the Fort Myers Palms. I barely scratched the surface of that history. Author Ken Breen has gone far deeper and with more insight than my story ever got close to approaching. In ""Summer of Palms"" he has re-created a long-ago era and team that many know nothing about. Now, you can learn that rich history. Glenn Miller, past president Southwest Florida Historical Society"
