Ron Kaplan’s Baseball Bookshelf
Our motto: “If it can fit on a bookshelf, it fits here.”
Ron Kaplan by Arnold Roth
In my "day job," I'm the features and sports editor for a weekly New Jersey newspaper. I'm also the editor of the Bibliography Committee Newsletter for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
I did a piece on the award-winning cartoonist and he was nice enough to "immortalize" me.
What I’m reading
What I'm reading now: Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between
So far, so: funny and depressing
AND
MUZZY FIELD: TALES FROM A FORGOTTEN BALLPARK
So far, so: good. A nice piece of Americana.
AND
The Corporal Was a Pitcher: The Courage of Lou Brissie
So far, so: sad and uplifting at the same time.
What I just read: SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
Grade: A-.
What's next: Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain
My article on the later biographies of Babe Ruth appears in
Statistical Theory
The Bookshelf is now a proud sponsor
of the Lou Limmer Page on Baseball-Reference.com.
