Birthday Greetings

August 28, 2010

Several “ballplayers with books” mark a birthday today including:

Ron Guidry, 60. He published Guidry, his autobio with Peter Golenbock in 1985 and was the subject of Maury Allen’s kids book, Ron Guidry, Louisiana Lightning in 1979.

And the recently-retired Lou Pinella, 67, Gudry’s Yankee teammate, has a couple of books himself, including Sweet Lou: Lou Piniella a Life in Baseball, Sweet Lou and the Cubs: A Year Inside the Dugout, and — here’s a coincidence — Sweet Lou, co-written with Maury Allen in 1986. Come on, guys, can we get a bit more original with the titles?
