From Valley News, which covers the Vermont/New Hampshire area: “Baseball odyssey: Book recounts summer of epic road trip.”

From the Culpeper, VA Star Exponent: “Pete Hill: Black Baseball’s First Superstar features Culpeper Hall of Fame slugger

In Publisher’s Weekly, author David Kelly recounts how “Self-Publishing Starts with a Ballgame.”

Comicbook.com, GamerBraves, and Inverse each offer a review of MLB The Show 23, all positive.

It’s not the ball, stupid, it’s global warming. From Science News, “Baseball’s home run boom is due, in part, to climate change.”

From WAFF in Huntsville, Alabama, “New book highlights history of baseball in Huntsville.” And from WLOX in Biloxi, Mississippi, “Book takes a funny look inside minor league baseball (Welcome to the Circus of Baseball, which also appears on this list of “The 10 Books You Should be Reading This April” from InsideHook.com, which also ran a story about Lee Lowenfish’s new book, Baseball’s Endangered Species: Inside the Craft of Scouting By Those Who Lived It. There’s also this from WestSideSpirit.com. Lowenfish also discussed his book on Pressboxonline.com, a Baltimore-centric site. Look for a Bookshelf Conversation with Lowenfish soon.).

From SYFY (!), “More than ‘Field of Dreams’: 5 great baseball movies to stream as the season starts.” The more of these lists I see, the more For Love of the Game appears.

Sorry I missed this one. Sounds like it would have been quite the event. Maybe there’s video of it available somewhere.

Now available at Target? My 501 book.
