Belated birthday greetings

August 25, 2010

Cal Ripken, Jr., 50. Ripken is big on instructionals for younger players, as well as life lessons learned from the game.

Tim Salmon, 42, also celebrated yesterday.

Always an Angel: Playing the Game With Fire and Faith

And Harry Hooper was born yesterday in 1887. One of the first book reviews I ever had published was Harry Hooper: An American Baseball Life, which appeared in the Fall 1994 issues of Elysian Fields Quarterly.
