I’m thrilled to have an essay in this new, lavishly illustrated anthology of baseball writing put out by Hobart Handbooks. It’s got a ton of great writing by some of my favorite writers like Elizabeth Ellen, Tod Goldberg and Kevin Maloney. My essay is about witnessing the Dodgers’ historic run in 2013 with a friend battling a life-threatening illness. (The excellent illustration by Nick Francis Potter references the homemade Yasiel Puig lunchbox mentioned in the essay, which I really did make!) Get yourself a copy today.
