Alex Gibney's film Catching Hell—about Cubdom's favorite scapegoat, Steve Bartman—aired tonight on ESPN. Last year, we adapted the following excerpt about Bartman from Will Leitch's book Are We Winning? Fathers and Sons and the New Golden Age of Baseball. Originally published May 4, 2010.

The Emeritus stopped by The Chucklehut With Joe Scarborough this morning to talk about his new book and baseball. If you've ever heard Will talk, you know he's...excited. He did not disappoint this morning, stammering through his segment.

Bostonians! Tomorrow night, Thursday, I will be talking and signing copies of Are We Winning in your fine city. I'll be at the BU Barnes and Noble, the one right by Fenway. We'll be drinking afterward as well. Come!

If you happen to be in the NYC area tonight, come to the Barnes and Noble on 86th and Lexington to see me talk about Are We Winning at 7 p.m. Booze and NBA Finals afterward for all comers.

Will's in the comments, and he will remain there until you're through with him. Remember to read his book, Are We Winning Ben Stein's Money? And read this, too, while you're at it. UPDATE: He's done, just shy of the three-hour mark.

Leitch will be taking your questions at 1 p.m. tomorrow — about his book, about whatever — and he says he'll hang around until you have none left. We're gunning for your record, Neyer.

The following is adapted from Will Leitch's Are We Winning? Fathers and Sons and the New Golden Age of Baseball.

The last time I did one of those book tour things, it was a massive endeavor that took years off my life. We're dialing it a bit back this time. (Oh, yeah, this book.)

This Tuesday, my new book, Are We Winning? Fathers and Sons and the New Golden Age of Baseball, is unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace. Since you probably don't actually have questions about it, I'll make some up and answer them.
