So right now I’m reading Peter Gammons’ new book, It’s All About the Players: What I’ve Learned from Baseball’s Best, for a review for Bookreporter.com, which of course led me down another rabbit hole. Gammons is one of those special writers — I’m thinking here of Thomas Boswell, Tom Verducci, Roger Angell, and the like […]
I find it amusing that I can rattle off the starting lineups for teams of 50 years ago, but can’t tell you who’s on the current rosters. I’m in the midst of building a TV-center/bookcase in my office and during the cleanup process I came across this: If ever there was a head-scratcher about a […]

Years ago, I asked Richard Sandomir how The New York Times decides on who gets the “honor” of an obituary in the “paper of record.” His exact answer escapes me but the gist of it was that they had some kind of impact on society. Tommy John had such an impact, albeit as an unwitting […]

The First All-Star Game: Babe Ruth, FDR and America at the Crossroads, by Randall Sullivan Tonight is the 96th Major League All-Star Game. (Or is it? More on that later.) I suppose I will watch out of habit. The first one I ever watched was the 1967 affair that saw the NL win 2-1 in […]

Headnote: Last Week Tonight — one of my favorite shows — did a bit with newscasters ruminating about how quickly the year has gone by (unfortunately I can’t find a clip of that segment). That’s how I feel: July already?? Moving on (one of John Oliver’s signature lines)… ♦ ♦ ♦ Amazon keeps changing the […]
Steven Gietschier, a former archivist for The Sporting News (talk about a dream job for a baseball reader), is one of those people I had know for many years without ever having met. There were numerous e-mail exchanges and a few phone calls, but nothing face to face. I finally had that chance in 2023 at […]
