Throwback Thursday: My 2016 Spring Training feature from Bookreporter.com

January 15, 2026

A trio of titles includes:

  • STEALING GAMES: How John McGraw Transformed Baseball with the 1911 New York Giants, by Maury Klein
  • THE SELLING OF THE BABE: The Deal That Changed Baseball and Created a Legend, by Glenn Stout
  • KINGS OF QUEENS: Life Beyond Baseball with the ’86 Mets, by Erik Sherman

Back in the day, you could make a nice piece of change from free-lance articles and reviews. I was lucky to have such pieces appear in such publications as Bookpage and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Good times.
