I wanted to let everyone know that the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s Catholic Review profiled “A Whole New Ballgame: The 1969 Washington Senators” along with five other books written by members of the archdiocese. I guess we might have the beginnings of a Catholic literati!
My long-time friend and devoted Washington baseball fan David Gough penned a brief review of my book “A Whole New Ballgame: The 1969 Washington Senators.” I’m posting it here with a lot of gratefulness. Dave is an author of two fine books himself (“They’ve Stolen Our Team” – a story of the 1960 Senators and “Lil’ Nel” a biography he co-wrote with Jim Bard on Nellie Fox, the ’69 Senators first base coach and Hall of Fame member). Dave provided inspiration and mentoring for me as I developed the ideas and path for “A Whole New Ballgame.”
