You Know Me Al

You Know Me Al

Built upon a series of letters from a bush-league baseball player to his friend "Al" back home, this is one of Ring Lardner's most famous novels, and is credited with being one of the first sports books to criticize the excesses, hero-worship, and myth-making of sports in general.
