Sorry, Mr. Postman: UNP books arrive

March 5, 2012

Actually, apologies to the office manager, who had to schlep these books to my desk.

Four titles from the University of Nebraska Press arrived today (full disclosure: UNP will be publishing my 501 book next year). In order of interest to me (with all due respect to the authors and which probably means the order in which I’ll read them):

• Conspiracy of Silence: Sportswriters and the Long Campaign to Desegregate Baseball, by Chris Lamb, author of Blackout: The Untold Story of Jackie Robinson’s First Spring Training.

• The Team That Forever Changed Baseball and America: The 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers (Memorable Teams in Baseball History), edited by Lyle Spatz under the auspices of the Society for American Baseball Research.

• Double No-Hit: Johnny Vander Meer’s Historic Night under the Lights, by James W. Johnson.

• Connie Mack: The Turbulent and Triumphant Years, 1915-1931, by Norman L. Macht, a massive follow-up to his 2007 massive work, Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (2007).
