The other three are incredible as well & you cannot go wrong with any of them!

Creamers work is timeless & Casey author Appel was a good friend of his! I hope after the season ends in our Series' victory I can post a historical review of best all-time books. Creamer would have 3 on that list!David Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928501758304825373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-19806365824255046682017-04-05T12:36:45.100-04:002017-04-05T12:36:45.100-04:00Great stud, David.

I read my share as a kid, but it's all a faded memory.

I knew Robert Creamer all my life, and after a middle age hiatus we reconnected for some marvelous story-telling weekends in Saratoga during his final years. While he's best known for his Ruth & Stengel bio's (& ghost autobio's of Mantle, Red Barber & Jocko Conlon) I found his "Baseball in 1941: The Best Season Ever" the most absorbing (& it was his favorite writing experience). Maybe that gets a review in the next "Annual" Baseball Book Review?Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161607087964191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-75835723238559532422017-04-05T10:03:36.311-04:002017-04-05T10:03:36.311-04:00This post represents the official return of one of...This post represents the official return of one of the original Mack's Mets writers, my good friend David Rubin.<br /><br />David was in some way a part of this blog from the get go and, those of you that are long term readers, will remember the quality of his work.<br /><br />Before Mack's Mets, he wrote for Mets Fever.<br /><br />Please welcome David back and I hope we will see more of him each week (pressure... :).Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.com
