Sports talk radio the way it was meant to be! Thank you to Dan Reinhard, for having me on Radio Kingston. We went deep and found some treasure, I think! radiokingston.org/en/broadcast/s… The Baseball Project #newbooks SABR SABR BioProject

This was the news today in 1947. Mize was ahead of the pace set by his cousin-in-law, Babe Ruth. But so many people were against him for having the nerve to chase the Babe. Read about it in "Big Cat," available wherever you buy books! Univ Nebraska Press #BabeRuth Johnny "Big Cat" Mize #BaseBall
If you are a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, SFGiants, or New York Yankees, and you are my friend, and you haven't gotten a copy of my book BIG CAT (about Johnny "Big Cat" Mize) ... what are you waiting for? It's available everywhere you get books! #Baseball The Baseball Project @Baseballhistory
Had a terrific time with Clyde Sukeforth Chapter - ME/NH last night, talking about Johnny "Big Cat" Mize and my new book, BIG CAT, with a great bunch of people who had sharp questions and wonderful stories. Give a listen! Univ Nebraska Press Bird Chatter Baseball #BaseballHistory ⚾️ #Baseball SABR #newbook youtube.com/watch?v=pXnX8_…
Me and BIG CAT at the Habersham Mills ball field. Johnny Mize played semipro baseball here back in the 1920s and 30s, probably for $10 a game. He wouldn't have been able to afford my book! Univ Nebraska Press Johnny "Big Cat" Mize #Baseball BaseballHistoryNut Baseballbookclub
Was Johnny "Big Cat" Mize the 6th Beatle? No. But his business manager/agent, Murray Kaufman, aka Murray the K, was the so-called 5th Beatle. Read about the Mize-Beatles connection in my book BIG CAT, available everywhere. Univ Nebraska Press DrPopCulture #Beatles #Baseball The Baseball Project
