In no professional sport have more men sacrificed for their country than baseball. In No Greater Love, many of baseball's military veterans - Bert Shepard, Don Newcombe, Dom DiMaggio, Jerry Coleman, Johnny Pesky, Ernie Harwell, Vin Scully, Bob Feller, and others - tell their stories - not just the facts of what they did, but more importantly, how they felt about their service and how their war experiences changed them as players and as men.

The memories and wisdom of the men who saved baseball assist author Todd Anton as he pursues his own personal mission to honor his late father, a World War II/Korean War combat veteran. No Greater Love melds together elements reminding readers of both Field of Dreams and Saving Private Ryan.

Todd Anton, inspired and trained by historian Stephen Ambrose, serves on the Board of Trustees of the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. He is also a public school history teacher in Phelan, California.
