Mr. Postman: New arrivals

March 17, 2012

Several new titles arrived over the past week including:

The Big Show is an extension of the 1993 publication of Baseball’s Golden Age: The Photographs of Charles M. Conlon, also produced by the McCabes. Dickson’s new biography on Veeck has to be on the short list of nominees for this year’s Seymour Medal and Casey Award. Nathanson’s release is the first “serious collective” history in some time. And Before the Curse is another look at the Cubs when they used to be decent on a regular basis. If they do manage to win the World Series somehow, I fear the Mayan predictions of the end of the world will come true. After all, what could top a Cubs’ championship? Might as well pack it in.
