Tom Fudge: Dave Winfield is one of the great players of the game of baseball. A hall of famer, he won several golden gloves, he hit more than 400 home runs and got more than 3,000 hits. He played for several years for the San Diego padres, and he's now an executive for the team. Dave Winfield also believes that baseball is in trouble. And if reforms aren't put in place, the game will become more and more distant from the lives and the affections of American sports fans. Dave Winfield has written a book that sums up his view of the game today. It's called "Dropping the Ball: Baseball's Troubles and How we can and must solve them."
Dave Winfield will discuss and sign copies of his book Wednesday (tonight) at 7:30 p.m. at Warwick's in La Jolla.
