A library unto itself

July 15, 2020

PANDEMIC_Logo_medium_edited_edited.pngThe Pandemic Baseball Book Club has just announced a giveaway contest with il premio di tutti i premi. (That’s “the prize of all prizes” for you non-Italian speakers out there. Yes, I’m pretentious.)

Just posted on Facebook today so I thought I would share it. The lucky winner of “The Pandemic Baseball Book Club Grand Slam Giveaway 2020” will receive one signed copy of each of the following. That’s several hundred bucks worth of books.

Where applicable, I’ve included links to Bookshelf Conversations I’ve had with the authors or reviews of the book.

They Bled Blue and Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic by Jason Turbow

Incredible Women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League by Anika Orrock

The Wax Pack by Brad Balukjian

Stealing Home by Eric Nusbaum

Intangibles by Joan Ryan

Billy Ball by Dale Tafoya

The Hall Ball by Ralph Carhart

K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches by Tyler Kepner

The Cactus League by Emily Nemens

Bouton by Mitch Nathanson

24: Life Stories and Lessons from the Say Hey Kid by John Shea

Yogi by Jon Pessah

The Cup of Coffee Club by Jacob Kornhauser (book+signed bookplate)

The Hall of Name by DB Firstman

Isabel “Lefty” Alvarez by Dr. Kat D. Williams

From the Stick to the Cove by Mike Murphy & Chris Haft

The New York Mets All-Time All-Stars by Brian Wright

Baseball for Kids by Adam MacKinnon

Working a “Perfect Game” by Bill Nowlin

The New Baseball Bible by Dan Schlossberg

Queen of the Negro Leagues by Jim Overmyer

And, because who doesn’t like a cup of coffee while reading, a Pandemic Baseball Book Club 11 oz. mug

The second-place prize isn’t second rate, either. Basically the same package but sans mug. (That’s “without” for you non-French speakers out there. Still pretentious.)

Now for the Kleingedrucktes (“fine print” in German. Yep.)
