In the middle of the 20th century, a tiny Illinois farming town cleared land for a new softball field, put up bleachers and lights and trotted out a team that turned back all comers. The Durand Merchants were farmers and ranchers, retailers, electric linemen and manufacturing workers. The team, possibly the region's greatest, feasted on competition from bigger cities all around. The story of those glory years is captured in Durand's Marvelous Merchants by Mike Waller, former editor of The Kansas City Star.
