Three Strikes, You're Out! Baseball Panel - STL Jewish Book Festival
Al Clark: Called Out But Safe: A Baseball Umpire's Journey
Clark was the first Jewish umpire in American League
history, and probably the first to eject his own father
from the officials' dressing room. Whatever Clark was
doing in his 30 years as a professional umpire
officiating at Nolan Ryan's 300th win, Cal Ripken's
record breaker, the "earthquake" World Series of
1989, braving a labor dispute, an anti-Semitic
tirade by a Cy Young Award winner, or a legal
imbroglioit makes for a good story.
Myron Holtzman:The Cardinals of Cooperstown, Second Edition
Like its best-selling predecessor, this edition showcases
baseball immortals in profile and celebrates the newest
inductees into baseball's hallowed hallmanager
Tony LaRussa and Joe Torre, manager and MVP
Cardinal third baseman. Also highlighted are St. Louis
Browns Hall of Famers, led by the legendary first
baseman George Sisler and enshrinees from the city's
Negro League teams, which included the great James
''Cool Papa'' Bell. Holtzman is currently PR director for
the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.
Kostya Kennedy: Pete Rose: An American Dilemma
How do we evaluate the Hit King now, at a time when
steroid cheats appear on the Hall of Fame ballot even
as Rose is denied? What do we make of this happily
unrepentant gambler, this shameless but beguiling
showman whose post-baseball journey has led him to a
curious reality show and to the streets of Cooperstown
to hawk his signature, his story, himself? Best-selling
author and assistant managing editor at Sports
Illustrated, Kennedy delivers an evocative answer in
his fascinating re-examination of Pete Rose's life.
