Note: The Amazon rankings are updated every hour, so these lists might not be 100 percent accurate by the time you read them (or even by the time I finish writing one). But close enough for government work, as the saying goes. In addition, occasionally the powers-that-be over there try to pull a fast one […]

Headnote: I’ve decided to bow to the times and include separate lists for e-books and audio books. Be aware that while many titles also appear in print versions, pretty much anyone can produce an e-book these days, so I’m not going to comment at all about the quality. As far as the audio goes, I’m […]

As a “reward” for having my submission on an episode of Deadwood accepted into the Extra Hot Great canon (you can go ahead and skip to about the 37-minute mark), I got to choose a topic for an “EHG mini.” Shouldn’t surprise anyone that I found a way to combine my two favorite pastimes — sports […]

Let me start off by saying I find Keith Hernandez quite enjoyable in his capacity as one of the TV announcers for the NY Mets. He speaks his mind and is quite informative and entertaining, even if he gets perhaps a tiny bit politically incorrect at times and falls into the old-vet-in-the-booth stereotype of saying […]

With the All-Star break an extra day longer this year, the MLB Network had to find something to fill the time usually taken up with endless repeats of the same information. So they premiered Costas & Seinfeld: Who’s on First?, a deconstruction of the classic comedy routine. The Seinfeld fan will recall the two-part episode […]

Who's on First
Several high-profile ballplayers share Oct. 20 as a birthday. Tops on the list: Mickey Mantle. There are dozens of books about The Mick. Many of the more recent ones examines his flaws as a person well as his strengths as an athlete, including Jane Leavy’s just-published The Last Boy. Since this book — and by […]

Ron Darling, former Mets star and author of The Complete Game: Reflections on Baseball, Pitching, and Life on the Mound, was on The Daily Show last night. The more I watch the interview segments of the program, the less I like the job Jon Stewart does as host. he’s fine for the “news” items, but […]

From Triumph books, again: The New York Mets may have lost out on reaching the playoffs for the second time in as many seasons, but the team is still important enough to have two upcoming books published revolving around the 2008 historic season: and So Long, Shea and Shea Good-Bye. So Long, Shea: Five Decades […]
