Scott Kiner is the son of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer & New York Mets broadcast legend Ralph Kiner.    That would be impressive enough by itself, but speaking of good sports genes, his mother was the National Tennis Champion Nancy Chafee.

Scott's fascinating book One of a Kiner, is a personal memoir of an iconic Sports and Broadcasting family. From 1946 to 1955, Ralph Kiner was baseball's home run king, having led or tied for the National League Home Run crown 7 years in a row! A celebrated athlete and America's most eligible bachelor, he dated Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Leigh (Psycho) and captured many headlines.

At the same time, Nancy Chaffee was the glamour girl of tennis, competing on center court at Wimbledon and gracing magazine covers worldwide. When they married in 1951, their love story captivated the nation.
