Kocak, Paul

A resident of historic Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, Paul Kocak is the author of "Baseball's Starry Night: Reliving Major League Baseball's 2011 Wild Card Night of Shock and Awe," which Doris Kearns Goodwin called "a magical book about a magical night." His "World Serious: One San Francisco Giants Fan's 2012 Pilgrimage" is an endearing mix of memoir, travelogue, and sports history.
