Brooklyn Dodgers legend Pete Reiser

Now on sale: my biography of Pistol Pete Reiser. It’s a fresh take on a ballplayer who if not for one frightful flaw, could’ve been the greatest in Dodgers history.

Baseball’s Greatest What If: The Story and Tragedy of Pistol Pete Reiser

"An engrossing, comprehensive look at a ballplayer who knew only one way to play." -- Tyler Kepner, baseball columnist for the New York Times and author of K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches.

"Like Reiser going after a ball, Joseph passionately pursues this story and gives an extraordinary ballplayer his due." -- Anthony Castrovince, writer for MLB.com and author of A Fan's Guide to Baseball's Analytics.

"Dan Joseph hit a HR with Last Ride of the Iron Horse, this book on Pete Reiser is a grand slam. GREAT biography!" -- Baseball Almanac.

Pete Reiser book now on audio

My biography of the Brooklyn Dodgers' great Pistol Pete Reiser is now an audio book! Voiceover artist Steve Zarro did a great job bringing the book to life. Click on the link below to hear an audio sample. I really like Steve's impression of old-time announcer Red Barber calling Reiser's inside-the-park grand slam, as heard in the 2010 Captain America movie.
