RIP Jim Brosnan
 

Just saw his obit on the NYTimes website. The Long Season and Pennant Race are still two of my favorite baseball books.

Agreed.......
 

The man broke ground for a lot of other writers.............his in particular were great.

Sad news!

I had the chance to contact Mr Brosnan to inquire about his interest in doing a paid appearance at a small card show not very far from his home in the Chicago suburbs. When I asked him if he would appear I received a flat "NO" and the conversation ended. I heard from a few others that he just didn't want to participate in shows and sign autographs. I even told him that the autographs would be free to the public and that still didn't entice him.

RIP Mr. Brosnan.
