Gene Moore

He was a baseball prodigy. At the age of fifteen, Gene Moore was a boy, playing like a man, in a game where men, play like boys.

Headed for baseball stardom with the Brooklyn Dodgers, his destiny was interrupted by
Pearl Harbor.
His life... and
maybe our
national
pastime...
would be
forever altered.

Gary W. Moore -- During World War II, Gene Moore convinced his commander to allow him to teach the enemy how to play baseball. His life—and maybe our national pastime—were forever altered. Jammed with memorable characters, Playing with the Enemy is a story that will be read and reread for generations to come. For more details on this event visit: www.camex.org.

Gary will happily travel and speak, sign books, and answer questions anywhere in North America. Email Sarah Keeney and ask for Gary to attend your function!
