America misses Jackie. Glad to have had the chance to reflect on his greatness... can’t wait for folks to get to read it. 2/1/19 is coming soon!
AMERICAN HERO: “Jackie wasn’t playing for Jackie! He was carrying 21 million Black folks on his back! Had he failed, an entire race of people would’ve failed!” -Buck O’Neil on Jackie Robinson who died OTD in ‘72 @MLB @MLBNetwork @JPosnanski @MLB_PLAYERS @Dodgers @Royals @espn RT
Just a reminder. The guy whose biography I just finished... he changed the world as a baseball player. Wasn't even close to his best sport. Actually, changing the world was probably his best sport. But baseball wasn't second.
Here's the scoop on my next book, coming soon. I think you'll enjoy. If you have questions or thoughts, let me know. bit.ly/2wUYV2U
Super slam by David Bote to end! When we update “Immaculate Inning,” he is in the super slam chapter.

Yours truly will be in Louisville at the Slugger Museum talking about "Almost Perfect", research, writing, and all that fun stuff. And giving away books. It's free, it's fun. Why aren't you going? nitter.gq/sabr/status/9540417236…

What exclusive group (only 30 players ever) did this guy join as a rookie? Post if you know. If not, check out The Immaculate Inning, Chapter 11.
Always fun to talk with @vincegennaro about "The Immaculate Inning" for Behind the Numbers: Baseball SABR Style on Sirius XM. Tune in Sunday at 4 PM EST to check out our conversation.
Just a heads-up... with the impending release of "The Immaculate Inning", this Twitter feed has been changed to reflect that book. Will share info about the new book, as well as discuss the prior books, and possibly give a few away.

Great dude, great story. Know he was working for the Yankees as a minor league instructor. Incredible passion for the game. Hope he someday can be remembered as a great coach as well as the guy who was robbed of his perfect game. nitter.gq/jdaniel2033/status/938…

Listened to this interview for the book, and it is a good one! Harvey Haddix talks about his almost perfect game... nitter.gq/sabr/status/9008933710…
From the #SABR Oral History collection: Listen to @Pirates’ Harvey Haddix talk about his 1959 imperfect game: sabr.org/latest/sabr-oral-hi…
Thought we had another Haddix going there for Rich Hill. Because the error came with no outs, no new chapter for the book.
