It is even rarer to find a professional athlete willing to acknowledge his own mistakes. In “Wherever I Wind Up,” R.A. Dickey reveals himself to be a sensitive, fragile human being — just like the rest of us.”

♦ Tom Hoffarth’s latest additions to his 30/30 project include

♦ The Charlotte Observer posted a few mini-reviews, including Calico Joe; Wherever I Wind Up; and Extra Innings (the Baseball Prospectus book, not the Ted Williams novel by Bruce Spitzer).

♦The Minneapolis Star-Tribune ran this roundup, including Dickson’s Bill Veeck bio, Wendell’s Summer of ’68, and Baseball Prospectus 2012.
