Author Todd Anton draws on the memories and wisdom of the legendary and lesser known players/veterans who saved baseball, as he pursues his personal mission to honor his late father, a World War II/Korean War combat veteran and devout baseball fan. No Greater Love: Life Stories from the Men Who Saved Baseball melds together elements that will remind readers of both "Field of Dreams" and "Saving Private Ryan."

Inspired and trained by historian Stephen Ambrose, Todd Anton serves on the Board of Trustees of the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. Fox News Channel's War Stories with Oliver North was inspired by Anton's project and used it as the centerpiece of their show "From the Ballpark to the Battlefield: Baseball and World War II." Anton is a public school history teacher in Phelan, California.
