Congratulations to my man @leanderalphabet.bsky.social. His book The Long Game on the U.S. men’s national soccer team is out today. It’s really good. Buy two copies and read one!
“The Last Manager” wins Casey Award as best baseball book of 2025. Awarded annually by Spitball, America’s best literary baseball magazine. I loved getting the call: “John, this is Mike Shannon, editor of Spitball Magazine…”
The Last Manager named a @nytimes.com Notable Book of 2025. Wild.
Happy birthday Earl Weaver! He would have been 95 today- born 8/14/30 in St Louis, MO. Celebrating, avec son, with the new printing that has the NYT Bestseller button on the cover
