Throwback Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016 (aka, massive links dump)

January 28, 2016

Since I posted the first of these on a Thursday, which is known on social media as a time of reflection, I thought to make it a regular thing under this rubric. These are kind of fun; it’s like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get. (Actually, I never understood […]

Throwback Thursday (massive links dump, continued)

May 8, 2015

It’s still Thursday somewhere, right? Got sidetracked yesterday and this slipped my mind. Since I posted the first of these on a Thursday, which is known on social media as a time of reflection, I thought to make it a regular thing under this rubric. These are kind of fun; it’s like a box of […]

Bits and pieces, March 17

March 17, 2014

So do any of today’s games feature green uniforms/hats? Ugh. Anyway, Andy Wolfenson, author of Deadly Fantasy (which, full disclosure, I blurbed), will be at Here’s the Story, 1043 Stuyvesant Ave., Union, for a book signing on Friday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. The Trumbull (CT) Library announced recently that this year’s One Book One […]

Aussie author interview: Chad Harbach

May 29, 2012

They almost seem apologetic that they have to explain what baseball is, as in the introduction to this audio interview with the author of The Art of Fielding from the Australian Broadcasting Company: American Author Chad Harbach is hot stuff in […]

Finally! (Or “The Art of Fielding misses a perfect game”)

November 22, 2011 · 1 comment

Someone who doesn’t think The Art of Fielding is Abner Doubleday’s gift to baseball. Or something like that; it’s all about the metaphors. Richard Peterson, an author and editor of books on the national pastime, published this critique in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch which starts off The celebration of “The Art of Fielding” as the […]

Amazon’s top book of the year is a stunner

November 8, 2011 · 5 comments

To me, at least. Amazon.com has selected Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding as Best Book of the Year. Seriously? I haven’t read any of the other top nine books, but I’m sorry — and with all dues respect — I can’t believe that TAOF is the best title, out of the hundreds that have […]
