My Baseball library contains over 250 supposedly well-researched and well-written works of labor and love for the Game we hold so dear - a Game known for its statistics and its rich history.
We trust supposedly more talented and more attentive writers to gift us, through their skills, an accurate record of both their memories and or own. However, my faith in book editors is constantly being challenged. Please wish me luck in that endeavor as I try to dive into my latest addition- 'All My Octabers'

As long as we're correcting, it's is short for it is, not a possessive.

Haha...good stuff.
I was privileged to work with Mickey Herskowitz at the dearly departed Houston Post off and on for almost two decades. He was then and remains my favorite columnist. He's a terrific writer and a gifted storyteller. He's written quite a few books, I see 35 listed but I'd bet it's more. He ghostwrote Howard Cosell's autobiography, co-authored bios with Bette Davis and George W Bush. He's in his mid-80s now but as recently as 2015 was going strong as a speaker when I saw him at a local SABR chapter meeting. Thanks for prompting some wonderful memories.

Just read that one. I thought it was very interesting from the Mick's point of view.
