Ed Steven played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1945-1947. In baseball circles he was known as "Big" Ed Stevens. He was the first man to be replaced by a black player, Jackie Robinson, in the history of Major League Baseball. After that fateful '47 season, he was traded to the Pittsburg Pirates and finished out his career in Toronto. He served as a major league scout for twenty-nine years. Ed has been elected to the Brooklyn Dodger Hall of Fame, the International League Hall of Fame, and the Baton Rouge Louisiana Kids Clinic Hall of Fame where he served for 40 years as a baseball instructor along with Mel Ott, Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Mickey Mantle.

Alberto Arcia's forte is humor – He is the President of The Woodlands Writer’s Guild. His colleagues call him the Panamanian Humorist from Texas, and if you have ever heard him read any of his stuff, you’ll know why. He’s taken the term unabashed buffoonery and moved it to an artistic level. Like the protagonist he created, Alex Perez, Alberto is also an immigrant, arriving in Texas on the eve of his 18th birthday. Along the way, he became a successful traveling salesman, chased countless women, caught a bunch, and married a few. He has children, and grandchildren, and presently lives in Plantersville, Texas. His novel, Cut & Run – The Misadventures of Alex Perez is a must read for anyone with a sense of humor.
