The Last At-Bat

A JoeBlogs Exclusive

A salute to 20 baseball legends.

Over the years, I’ve written hundreds of tributes, obituaries and farewells to the players, voices and characters across the sports world — particularly the baseball world.

In that spirit, we’ve put together a brand new PDF collection of 20 of those pieces — some lost from the web — into a single keepsake PDF.

This is 140 pages of stories, memories, and goodbyes — from Willie Mays to Brooks Robinson to Vin Scully to Bob Uecker to Mark Fidrych.

You can purchase your own copy today for $10.

Or, this month only, if you become a JoeBlogs member, I’ll send to to you absolutely free.
