* A couple of reviews on John Grisham’s Calico Joe, one yea (“Calico Joe is his first baseball themed book and it didn’t disappoint.”), one nay (“Grisham’s work lacks the meat and potatoes to satisfy this reader’s appetite for page-turning substance. It’s a slim book that perhaps would have made a much better short story or magazine article.”).
* The Columbus Dispatch published this review of Lefty: An American Odyssey. Upshot: “Lefty is a saga, all right, endearing for its vivid snapshots of long-lost diamonds and the colorful players who inhabited them.”
* The White Sox Observer, part of the Chicago Now website, posted this lengthy piece on James Farrell’s My Baseball Diary. It less of a review than a history lesson.
* The paradigm of review are not longer dictated by the length of the project. Here’s one from the National Review of The Summer of 43: R. A. Dickey’s Knuckleball and the Redemption of America’s Game — a 25-“page” Kindle single by Joseph Bottum.
