August 8, 2018

Haven’t done one of these in a while. Of course haven’t done much of anything in a while, so…

  • From the NWItimes.com site, (Munster, IN) this review of Joe Maddon’s Try Not to Suck.
  • From the Lincoln Journal Star, this review of Donald Hall’s posthumously-published memoir, A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety. And one from The New York Times (we play no favorites here).
  • From the Bismark Tribune, this review of Fathers, Sons, and the Holy Ghosts of Baseball by Tommy Murray, one of those regional books that chronicles the national pastime in small-town America.
  • From the Berkshire Eaglethis review, of A Franchise on the Rise: The First 20 Years of the New York Yankees by Hartford Courant baseball writer Dom Amore.
  • From NYSportsday, this review of I’m Keith Hernandez.
  • From the Toronto Globe and Mail, this review of Taking The Field, an anthology of baseball fiction edited by George Bowering, which the critic considers the perfect summer read.
  • From fishstripes.com, a Marlins-centric site via SBNation, this review of A View From My Seat: My Baseball Season With The Jumbo Shrimp, by Armand Rosamilia based on his experiences as a 2017 season ticket holder for the team’s Double-A affiliate.
  • From Korea Times, this review of an old classic, Moneyball.
