♦  From USA Today, a story about former MLB pitcher Jason Grimsley who writes about his life, his drug and alcohol rehabs, the psych wards, his performance-enhancing drug use, and his journey toward redemption in the just-released Cross Stitched: One Man’s Journey from Ruin to Restoration.

Music, popular jargon, rivalries and passion in stadiums, are some of the manifestations that are experienced in the country. It is every year in October when play ball is sung and the winter baseball season begins, the great party of the Dominican Republic.

This is the inspiration for the INICIA firm to present the book The Art of Baseball, a portrait of Dominican culture represented by its star sport, captures the games of the complete winter baseball season 2021-2022 and the Caribbean Series, held in the country that same year.

♦  From ShepherdExpress.com, this about former one-season Milwaukee Brewer Jim Rushford’s memoir, The Pizza Guy Delivers, also released this month.
