Cricket in the Genes, George Bailey by Martin Rogers | HB Arts some sad) of the manyThis book explores the colourful and varied family history of Tasmanian sporting royalty, from the former Tigers and Hobart Hurricanes captain, George Bailey, back to his great great grandfather George Herbert Bailey and beyond. Sporting links across generations are not uncommon, but for sheer longevity there probably isn't a story to compare with that of the Baileys, who have connections with a swag of other distinguished Tassie families.
