Thank you to readers everywhere; my family & friends; everyone at Atria Books who believed in me; all the indie booksellers who hosted events; and the people who lived this story & trusted me to tell it. This little underdog book has done it. We are a New York Times bestseller.

As a high school senior in the fall of 1990, I will always remember Todd Benzinger for his celebration after he caught the last out of the 1990 WS. I know exactly where I was, who I hugged him when it happened, and what it meant in that moment. RIP, Todd.

Two great teams are in the World Series and one of them is going to win it for the first time. High drama. I’m in. But it’ll be interesting to see who watches. Here’s the last 10 years of WS ratings w/ the low-water marks being COVID & another small-market series: Rangers-DBacks.

The Orioles, Pirates, and Mariners caught a stray last night near the end of Game 4 in LA. Ouch.

Europe should charge the U.S. a tariff for sending them this NFL game.

@Karen_Russell @RusBradburd Hey, @Karen_Russell … My book on Rose doesn’t shy away from anything—it’s the good and the bad, all lumped in together. The whole man, for better or for worse. DM me and I’ll mail you a copy!
