Fine writing makes baseball enjoyable — even for people who don’t like baseball, like me.

Great story about pushing through pain and doubt and sticking it out. Excellent painting, too.

A great story! The writer must know some officials who’ve seen some tough days. Superb!

No body has the array of stories that Robert has! That’s why we all await whatever he writes–doesn’t matter what it is–it’s always a home run! Even Ted Williams struck out once in a while–not Robert! Write a lot in 2016!–Happy Days–Jack

It’s really hard to write a good baseball story and avoid all the cliches (the dramatic home run, etc.), but Bob has certainly done it. No reader will ever see the umpires in the same light, or for that matter a high school or legion baseball game.
