3 New Baseball Books for 2020

Baseball season may be on hold as of this early April writing, but I have three books out to tide fans over: 1960: When the Pittsburgh Pirates Had Them All the Way is available only on Amazon and it explores the wildest, most lopsided World Series ever--plus the people and events leading up to it.
Wits, Flakes, and Clowns is, I truly believe, the funniest book on baseball's colorful characters ever. I say that because I researched it for around 25 years and during that time, I conducted exclusive interviews with tons of players, coaches, managers, etc. (about 150 in all) to collect funny stories and I mixed that in with the best stories/anecdotes/quotes from the scores of books I've read by other writers. The result: 135 colorful characters and their funny quotes, pranks, and antics.
Finally, the second, updated edition of Name That Ballplayer is out. It presents three tiers of clues to readers, challenging them to identify ballplayers from different eras. It's a fun and informative book.
