Just as interesting as reading about Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Mattingly, Jeter, et al, is — from a literary point of view — seeing how writing styles have changed over the last 100-plus years, beginning before the availability of radio, when newspapers were the only game in town, so to speak, predating even radio as a way of spreading the gospel of baseball.

And just as a heads-up, look for a Bookshelf podcast featuring Dave Anderson in the near future.
