Joe Klein Interview

I had a chance to speak with Joe Klein on the phone this week in regards to getting information for the book I'm working on. Klein, now the Executive Director of the Atlanta League (a position he has held since its inception in 1998), gave a lot of great insights on the Cleveland Indians organization from when he was there.

One interesting thing he shared with me was the fact Pat Gillick liked knuckleball pitchers. It was ironic that two knuckleballers--Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey--shut down the Phillies (Gillick's current team) last Sunday and Monday back-to-back, sending Philadelphia to its slump (three shutout losses to the Mets).

Review of "Oh So Close, Canada!"

I was fortunate enough to have hockey writer Joe Pelletier review a copy of "Oh So Close, Canada!"

Here is a link to the review.

Mr. Pelletier, a published author himself, reviews hundreds of hockey books every year, and has an informative blog about hockey history.
