Spending all that time traveling around the country with my friends Buck O'Neil and Bob Kendrick, I mean, it can't possibly get better than that.

But I will say that writing WHY WE LOVE BASEBALL was just SO much fun. Each book is rewarding in its own way, obviously, but I am so excited for people to see this one because even though it's not about me at all, it's probably my most personal book. And I had fun with it every single day.(less)
