Nelson "Nellie" King (1928-2010) was the undisputed folk historian of Pirates baseball. In his book, Happiness is Like a Cur Dog, he shared his warmth, humor, memories and wisdom with new generations of Pirates fans.

Readers will savor King's stories about his experiences in the minor leagues, his trials and triumphs as a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1950s and his subsequent career announcing Pirates baseball on KDKA radio with the legendary Bob Prince during the team's "halcyon days."

If you love the Pittsburgh Pirates, baseball history, or a good tale well told, this book is for you!
