Bits and pieces

April 18, 2007

  • In recognition of the 60th annversary of Jackie Robinson’s Major League debut, Jonathan Eig appeared on Only a Game to discuss his new book, Opening Day. The OAG page also links to host Bill Littlefield’s review of the book.
  • Crazy ‘o8 author Cait Murphy puts her book through the “Page 99 test.” According to author, editor, and literature promoter Ford Madox Ford, “Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you.”
  • Here’s something you don’t see every day: a review of a baseball scorebook. “JinAz,” a transplanted Reds fan (in Arizona), favorably critiques Rick Burk’s Baseball Scorebook on his blog, On Baseball and the Reds. While the book itself doesn;t seem like anything out of the ordinary, JainAZ does quite a good job as he explains the format and layout, offering graphic snippets to make his points.
