Description
In this candid memoir, a celebrated sportswriter looks back on the people, encounters, and defining moments that shaped his life and career. From his literary upbringing and friendships with poets to his years among baseball legends, he offers an intimate portrait of figures who influenced his understanding of ambition, character, race, and storytelling. Drawing on personal memories and long-hidden reporting, the book provides a distinctive, firsthand perspective on baseball’s integration and the complicated realities behind its celebrated history. Reflective, richly observed, and unsparing, it is both a personal coming-of-age story and a meditation on the enduring power of friendship, journalism, and sport.
