No one loved his baseball glove as much as Alexander Portnoy.

@UkraineNotWeak: I read it not too long ago and highly recommend it. It manages to make the 1908 season sound great and somehow doesn't resort to "everything was better back then"-ism.

...Murphy will recount tales of the nuttiest season in baseball history, one century ago.

So it's at the "Happy Ending Lounge" and you're supposed to look for hot pink awning? Is Kobe Tai reading excerpts from her best-selling "Sideways Smiles"?

A friend of mind just gave me the Murphy book on the 1908 season to read. It's next on my list.

Is one guaranteed a "Happy Ending" at The Happy Ending Lounge? If so, one has to watch where they step.
