Another attempt to catch up on almost-forgotten items:
- An assessment of the 2011 Topps card set. Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but this looks like a set I’d like to have. Nice look, but there’s something about it that seems almost like a throwback to the days I was collecting (which I haven’t done for at least 10 years, other than a pack or two per issue).
- Another list, this time of the ten best baseball flicks, courtesy of Screenjunkies.com.
- A few days ago I posted a query about a certain used bookstore in Toronto. I have since learned, sadly, that the name of the establishment was This Ain’t the Rosedale Library, and that it recently went out of business, at least for the time being. Quel dommage.
- I also recently posted an entry about the generally scathing review of four memoirs in last Sunday’s Times book review supplement. Sean Manning, one of the authors considered therein, chose to answer his critic through The Daily Beast website.
- The very erudite Watching the Game has several long and thoughtful entries about baseball books, including A False Spring, by Pat Jordan; Women at Play: The Story of Women in Baseball, by Barbara Gregorich; and The Last Boy, by Jane Leavy, among others.
- Dan Schlossberg (The 300 Club) is the latest to get the “Baseballism” treatment from Joe Magennis.
