This just in from Onion Sports: Aaron credited with 50 “lost” home runs.

I usually don’t consider this type of book, but I was intrigued by the press release. There’s a new bio due out about Phillies’ slugger Ryan Howard. Titled Ryan Howard: King of Swing, 
it’s marketed for “fans of all ages.” But one look at the cover indicates it’s not on an editorial par with say, The Teammates. Other self-referential accolades include:
- THE FIRST & BEST BOOK ABOUT
RYAN
- ORIGINAL COVER CARICATURE BY GOGUE
- 120 PAGES OF HOMERUN HITTING PROSE
- QUOTES THAT WILL MAKE YOU CHEER
- BASEBALL STATS & COOL CATS
- TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME
Think I’ll wait for the movie to come out.
