Two weeks ’til pitchers and catchers!
From thecoldwire.com: “MLB writer Evan Drellich has spent the past several years writing a book centered around the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal from back in 2017.” Oddly, the piece does not actually mention the book’s title, which is Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball’s Brightest Minds Created Sports’ Biggest Mess. Here’s an excerpt courtesy of AwfulAnnouncing.
From Yahoo, “MLB All-Star and Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman joins “CBS Mornings” to discuss his new children’s book, The Grip.
Lest we forget: “Drummer who entertained Cleveland baseball fans for decades dies.”
In the realm of unlikely players to write a book, how about Joe Kelly, an 11-year veteran who has pitched for the Cardinals, Red Sox, Dodgers, and White Sox. According to DodgerBlue, he rates the LA fans as best in A Damn Near Perfect Game. Wonder how followers of his most recent club feels about that? (And another article from Yardbarker.)
From the Terre Haute, IN, Tribune-Star: “[Bob] McCammon still grew up a fan of the Washington Senators and the franchise they eventually became, the Minnesota Twins. In fact, he’s such a fan, and has such a long family history with the team, that he has written a book about it, Walter Johnson Had No Idea: A Life with Baseball.”
From Press Pros Magazine (“a local daily website featuring narrative stories about area high school and college sports in the counties of west-central Ohio”), a reprint of a 2014 story about meeting Jim Bouton, author of Ball Four.
From Sportskeeda (“a global sports content platform that covers the world’s biggest sports and esports subjects”): “Alex Rodriguez cites a book that shifted his financial mindset, contrasting his upbringing to lessons he now imparts to his daughters.”
