Trying to catch up, once again:
* A review of Satchel and an interview with author Larry Tye, from BeyondtheBoxScore.com. And an excerpt from Sportfeelgoodstories.com.
* From his mouth to God’s ears (as my people say). From Foxbusiness.com, word that — according to the author of a book on Bernie Madoff:
“Fred Wilpon, the owner of the New York Mets, will be forced to sell the baseball franchise as soon as 2010 after incurring heavy …Madoff-related investment losses.
“So says Erin Arvedlund, author of “Too Good to Be True,” a new book from publisher Portfolio that has gotten a big buzz in its first few weeks by detailing the evil deeds of the disgraced New York hedge fund manager… “You can quote me,” Arvedlund said of a possible sale of the Mets. “It’s a matter of when. It could be as soon as next year.”
Yeah, I know, it’s a bit tanential, but a book’s a book.
Here’s something I’d like to see, vis-a-vis the Mets: Today’s New York Daily News reports that Jose Reyes might also need an operation. That’s 13 Mets on the DL. Could some industrious filmmakers put together a video that includes the individual games where these players went down? Reyes, Beltron, Delgado, etc. Make it into one big lowlight reel.
* An ad on Craigslist from a poor soul who wants to sell off his baseball books by 9/2.
* From the Cardboard Connection website, how the baseball card is ready from a technological makeover.
