BASW 2008?

Franz Lids?

 

At first glance, think I've read six of them. (No, the Lidz story wasn't among them.) And if the other 23 match the quality of those pieces, this should be an outstanding collection.

 

Hey, I typed quickly. One other note, this is hardcover. Hasn't it always just been paperback? It's 28 bucks. And sportsjournalists.com gets a thank you from Glenn in the Foreword.

 

I saw it in softcover in upstate New York yesterday.

 

This one should be fun, if not a little redundant. I read 14 of those stories when they were first published.

I think I'm a close second FoaF: 1-for-6.

A sincere thank you for your support, Glenn Stout.

Guest editors: Welcome to my jungle... You're going to diiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee.

Except Mike Lupica. I thought he did a great job.

 

I think the vast majority of us would sell our souls for a "notable."

 

Mr Jennings,

Sell your soul? Bid low. I've put my notables up on eBay. Buy all seven and I'll throw in an executive jet.
