Opposing reviews for Jonathan Eig’s Opening Day. Pro and Con. And an interview with the author.

This just in from Onion Sports: Aaron credited with 50 “lost” home runs.

I usually don’t consider this type of book, but I was intrigued by the press release. There’s a new bio due out about Phillies’ slugger Ryan Howard. Titled Ryan Howard: King of Swing, 00howardit’s marketed for “fans of all ages.” But one look at the cover indicates it’s not on an editorial par with say, The Teammates. Other self-referential accolades include:

  • THE FIRST & BEST BOOK ABOUT
    RYAN
  • ORIGINAL COVER CARICATURE BY GOGUE
  • 120 PAGES OF HOMERUN HITTING PROSE
  • QUOTES THAT WILL MAKE YOU CHEER
  • BASEBALL STATS & COOL CATS
  • TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME

Think I’ll wait for the movie to come out.
