Wild. I don't mind a one-time transfer, as sometimes schools aren't the fit kids think they are, or like circumstances change, but being able to hop every year ...

Carl Erksine did so much for baseball, openly telling his stories about the Brooklyn Dodgers Golden Era countless times for fans and writers. He shared this great Roy Campanella story with me in 2011.

I've had several people ask about the origins of this famous Jackie Robinson photo (below) with the Montreal Royals.

Oh, man. Also, when I was a kid, always referenced as a great Jewish athlete. And, lord knows, we didn't have a ton to choose from.

One Day. One game, one at-bat, one chance denied because of a technicality engineered by humans, and so a man is excluded from the financial boost an mlb pension could have given him long ago. But well-paid MLBPA president Tony Clark's response to his brethren's cries? CRICKETS.

One of the many meetings I've had with Doc Gooden. Always has been generous with making time to talk, both on and off the record.

“OJ fooled a lot of people. Few of them were black.” I’ve been thinking about the things Ralph Wiley wrote about OJ Simpson ever since I read them, going back almost 30 years ago. So I wrote about it. slate.com/culture/2024/0…
