If I want to get a bunch of writers together, and only writer who like baseball to talk about and write baseball stories, am I allowed to do that? Football fans can start their own group, right? If I were female, and I wanted to organize a bunch of female motorcyclists to ride together, only…
In further honor of baseball’s 2012 season, and in hopes of another Yankee world series win, I’m re-posting another baseball book review. This one’s about the man who single-handedly saved baseball when it was about ready to disappear and was considered a failure.
