The “father of Independent Baseball,” Miles Wolff recounts his 50-year career in the game and how his experiences lead to the founding of the modern independent game, with some opposition from the existing major and minor leagues. Along the way, he describes how the movie Bull Durham came to be made and covers the history of minor league ball’s growth from mom-and-pop operations to major business endeavors.

Miles Wolff is the former owner of the Durham Bulls, the Quebec Capitales, the Burlington Royals, and ten other minor league, independent, and summer collegiate teams. He is the former publisher and owner of Baseball America and Total Baseball named him among the top 100 individuals in the history of baseball. He lives in Durham, North Carolina.
