As mentioned the other day, here’s the mid-summer “Roundup Review” which appears on Bookreporter.com. Heavy on the NY teams (sorry, all you out-of-towners), but there are a couple of others so don’t be a hater.

My article on Sandy Koufax in the 1965 World Series appears in
My article on the later biographies of Babe Ruth appears in
My article on the Mets’ 1969 postseason appears in
Profiles of several Jewish baseball figures appear in
