It's a good one: if you liked My 1961, you'll love his memories from his years in an MLB front office, his interactions with the great players of the era, and be amazed at how much the game as changed. Featuring a foreword by Dave Winfield.
We know many of you were first exposed to August Publications thanks to Andy Strasberg and his books, My 1961 and Home Runs: Tales of Tonks, Taters, Contests and Derbies. If you're a fan of Andy's writing, we have two bits of big news for you.
Second: We've teased Andy's next title in past newsletters, and here's more of a tease. Andy's compiled his best stories about his Padres years in his next book for August Publications, and we'll be publishing it later this year.

He managed the Red Sox to the 1918 World Series title, then followed Babe Ruth to New York and built the Yankees’ first dynasty.
