Haven ‘t appeared on the What’s on Second show for awhile because of my softball league obligations, but a rare Monday rainout (our Wednesday games seem to get postponed with disappointing regularity) allowed me to put in an appearance.
MLB writer Jonathan Mayo (Facing Clemens: Hitters on Confronting Baseball’s Most Intimidating Pitcher) was the featured guest.
Books discussed included:
- The Natural
, by Bernard Malamud, in which we discussed the differences between the book and film versions.
- The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter
, by Ian O’Connor
- The Yankee Years
, by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci
- A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez
, by Selena Roberts
- An Accidental Sportswriter: A Memoir
, by Robert Lipsyte
You can listen to the show here (I come in about the 45-minute mark if you want to skip).
