Povletich's book takes unique look at Braves history
Bill Povletich is likely familiar to OnMilwaukee.com readers for his film about Hank Aaron's first pro season in Wisconsin, "Henry Aaron's Summer Up North." His book "Milwaukee Braves: Heroes and Heartbreak" is an eye-catchingly illustrated walk through the years the Braves spent in Milwaukee -- with a focus on the civic and financial effects of the team's arrival and departure.

Gotta love McGivern
John McGivern puts on a good show. I learned this last night when I participated as a live audience member as MPTV taped "A Midsummer Night McGivern" for later broadcast.
