Portland Forest Dragons News Release


White Hawk Press of Waterloo, Iowa (formerly of Madison, Wisconsin) has announced the publication of HOWLIN' WOLF!: A FAN'S HISTORY OF THE HIGHS AND LOWS DURING FIVE STORMY YEARS WITH THE MADISON BLACK WOLF by James P. Roberts.

It was wild. It was crazy. Some said it would never work. But to a group of local enthusiasts Northern League baseball was a perfect fit for a city like Madison, Wisconsin. Thus were born the Madison Black Wolf, a baseball team that began as a wild success and over the span of five years saw everything crumble. After a long year without baseball, 1996 saw Warner Park full of crowds and the sounds of the game. The team itself consisted of many diverse personalities, and then there were the rock concerts, the CD scrambles, the wacky promotions...all which made Northern League baseball fun.

James P. Roberts became a Madison Black Wolf fan and season-ticket holder from Day One. From a wealth of personal memorabilia he has crafted this entertaining and informative account of the fortunes and failures of the Black Wolf. It is a book no Northern League fan--or any baseball fan--should be without!

Follow Ila Borders--baseball's first woman pitcher--as she pitches through both incredible success and unbelievable adversity while with the Black Wolf in 1999. From beer break-ins to rain delay swims in the outfield, HOWLIN' WOLF! captures it all!

140 pages, 8 1/2 by 11, perfect-bound, matte finish, over 60 photos taken by official Black Wolf photographer Dan Wiza.

ISBN: 9636544-6-2

$15.00 plus $3.00 shipping. Checks/Money Orders payable to James P. Roberts.
