My review through the Amazon Vine program of Edward Achorn’s soon to be published book: Fifty-Nine in ’84: Old Hoss Radbourn, Barehanded Baseball, and the Greatest Season a Pitcher Ever Had is available at Amazon.com here.

If you saw me at CPAC you might have noticed me toting that book around I had just finished it when this picture was taken by the Lonely Conservative.

It is due for release March 16th. If you want to learn both about the 19th century and the baseball they played it is certainly the book for you.

You can’t imagine what it was like to be a Red Sox Fan until you’ve been there.

…that I didn’t blog about Bill O’Reilly blunt statement that the Saints didn’t have a chance. It had reminded me of the episode of “The Capital Gang” with Steve Sabol who predicted that the Pats had “no chance” against the Rams.

I had the post written in my head and never bothered to write it. Just goes to show he who hesitates is lost.

…getting hit on a regular basis by muscular 250lb + men may be hazardous to your health:

“They’ll tell you I’m one of the worst ones that comes in there,” said Harrison, now retired and living in Woodbridge, Va., where he also deals with high blood pressure, diabetes and slew of aches from injuries to his back, knees, hip and shoulder. “Sometimes I don’t even remember my name.”

8 concussions will do that to you. He may be a Superbowl Hero and remembered by Steelers fans everywhere but there is a price to be paid and Reggie Harrison is paying it.

Give me Baseball any day. (only a couple of months to go!)
