Description

UNCORKED! is the true story of two-sport legend Corky Withrow of Central City, Kentucky, one of the greatest high school basketball players in the Commonwealth who went on to play professional baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. Authors Sherrill Williams and Charles Thurman take the reader on a journey to 1950s Kentucky, where small-town high school basketball was king and Corky was known as one of the best. The book describes, in detail, the hard-nosed, hard-fought battles on the court and the thrilling action of the nation’s second most successful program in wins. The book also presents Corky’s time in professional baseball, including his struggles in the minor leagues and his time in the big show playing alongside St. Louis great, Stan Musial. With UnCorked!, readers will gain an appreciation for the hard work, and raw talent, of one of the state’s best athletes of all time and member of the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame–Corky Withrow.
