Hey Steve F, and all,

What Al said about Grass is Real is so true, an excellent book to follow the cornerstone book Glory of Our Times. I get goosebumps just thinking about Spud Chandler talking about the greatest catch ever made in a game (which was before Willie's 54 WS catch). A great book. And if you liked GOTT, the CD set is great. To understand it to the maximum, one needs to read a book that is about baseball writers, the title escapes my mind. But in it Ritter talks about how his girlfriend was along sometimes, and how she'd start talking with the player's wife and get the interview all off track. This writers book talks about how Ritter came to do the book. The writers book isn't as great as GOTT, but the Ritter section maximizes GOTT appreciation.

Frank.
