It’s called "Roadside Baseball: Uncovering Hidden Treasures From Our National Pastime"."King" Kelly Coleman"King" Kelly Coleman is considered by some to be the best basketball player to ever emerge from Kentucky. He earned the nickname "King" in the late 1950’s – while he was in high school. Coleman quickly was touted as the best high school basketball player in the country – ahead of Jerry West.But growing up as one of eleven children to a low-income family in Wayland, Kentucky, Coleman wasn’t emotionally prepared to become one of the first sports superstars in the nation. He spoke with WFPL’s Stan Cook about the experience.Eleanor LermanAfter a twenty-five year absence, Eleanor Lerman returned to poetry after spending time writing crimes novels and short fiction.
