The closest I’ll ever get to law school

February 18, 2016

Last month I included a mention of Baseball and the Law: Cases and Materials by Judge Lou Schiff and Nova Southeastern Law School Professor Robert Jarvis in a “Bits and Pieces” entry. I noted that it was  pricey volume ($114 on Amazon) and the judge sent an email pointing out that yes, legal books were expensive and explaining why this was so. (Actually, for a tome over 1,000 pages, maybe it’s not that expensive after all.)

Today he wrote again, saying he had forgotten to tell me they had included my 501 book as a footnote in his work

6. The number of works about baseball is uncountable (a search in Google Books using
the word “baseball,” for example, returns 20.6 million entries), and even a short list of
the best baseball books is impossibly long. See, e.g., Ron Kaplan, 501 Baseball Books Fans
Must Read Before They Die (2013).
Case closed. Thanks, your honor.
