(Or “Night and Day, you are the one…”)
One of the baseball books that’s been getting a lot of buzz lately is Dan Barry’s Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball’s Longest Game, about the longest game in pro baseball, a 1981 affair between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings
- A conversation with Barry, a New York Times columnist, from The Atlantic.
- Barry made the rounds on NPR. Here he is on Weekend Edition (blog entry by Linda Holmes). And here is in on Only a Game.
- Stefan Fatsis, one of the hosts of Slate’s Hang Up and Listen, wrote the review for the Times.
- From Boston.com (because one of the teams involved was the Pawtucket Red Sox).
- The AP review, as presented in the Chicago Daily Herald.
- Here’s the Facebook page, an entity that has become de rigueur for authors.
- The Kirkus Review review.
- Another quickie, this one from Bookmarks.
- Finally, here’s an excerpt from the audiobook, read by the author (opens in a new window)

I know we’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I do love that cover. (Illustrations matter when it comes to baseball.) Thanks for reminding me to purchase Bottom of the 33rd. Really like the title you chose for this piece.
Thanks. Haven’t read it myself yet, but the NPR interviews have been quite interesting.
