QR code
"You Know Me Al: A Busher's Letters" by Ring Lardner is a collection of stories published in 1916. Written as letters from Jack Keefe, a talented but headstrong pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, to his friend Al back in Indiana, the book captures a boastful, naive ballplayer's adventures in the big leagues circa 1913. Through his barely literate correspondence, Jack reveals his struggles with contract negotiations, romantic entanglements, marriage troubles, and
life among real baseball legends—all while remaining hilariously oblivious to how others manipulate him. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
