David Wright's New Book Deserves Its Own Thread

So David Wright mentioned this was coming in his book but I musta missed this, last month:

I suppose if you're going to give your son a third-baseman's name, "Brooks" is better than "Pie".



But a better name would have been "Hubie Brooks David Wright".

Not to be macabre, but I just realized that, if you really want to do this, you may have a very limited window to get Tommy Lasorda on record.

Just an update here: Peter Frampton's memoirs weren't all that interesting either

Chapter 8 - This One's Called. Doobie. Wah.

I don't know if Ron Swoboda's recent book deserves its own thread, but it has a peppy voice and contains a passel of anecdotes a reader doesn't expect (Jay Carden, known mostly as part of the Clendenon trade, apparently liked to party in the minors).

I really thought this update was going to be about signing with Bobby Valentine and St. Martin's Press.
