At long last Leavy. First off, an apology. This was originally meant to be posted way back in December but something went kerfluie with the recording.

Headnote: I’ve decided to bow to the times and include separate lists for e-books and audio books. Be aware that while many titles also appear in print versions, pretty much anyone can produce an e-book these days, so I’m not going to comment at all about the quality. As far as the audio goes, I’m […]

Welcome to 2019. I hope y’all had a great holiday season. “Pitchers and catchers” are still more than a month away, so I hope this list of forthcoming books will serve as a source of warmth and comfort until then. We seem to have the requisite number of material about former stars such as Jackie […]

Let’s see if I remember how to do this… One of the joys I derive from this blog is the opportunity to speak to authors, artists, filmmakers, musicians, etc. about a common interest. When I was working at the paper, I had more time and resources to do these conversations. Now it’s more a catch-as-catch-can […]

Via Bookreporter.com. Just to add a bit… One of the things I enjoyed most about this new look was the impact Ruth had on not just the way the media covered sports, but the whole concept of celebrity culture. There’s not a whole lot in the way of the Bambino’s exploits on the field, but […]
