Pete Rose is a legend. A baseball god. He compiled more hits than anyone in the history of baseball, a record he set decades ago that still stands today. He was a working-class white guy from Cincinnati who made it; less talented than tough, and rough around the edges. He was everything that America wanted and needed him to be, the American dream personified, until he wasn’t. Charlie Hustle tells the full story of one of America’s most epic tragedies—the rise and fall of Pete Rose.

A man too full
Revisado: 05-10-24
I continue thinking about this book, and Pete, and Gold's Gym, and Paul Giamatti's dad and everyone in Pete's orbit long after listening. The author paints the entire portrait detailing how Pete thrived in baseball with the same mentality that would ultimately bring him down. I thought about how things could have ended better for Rose, like they did some of those in his orbit. But O'Brien makes it clear there was no other path for Rose, who was never going to get out of his own way.

New York Times bestselling author Joe Posnanski is back with a masterful ode to the game: a countdown of 50 of the most memorable moments in baseball’s history, to make you fall in love with the sport all over again. Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends, and of forgotten moments almost lost to time. It's Willie Mays’s catch, Babe Ruth’s called shot, and Kirk Gibson’s limping home run; the slickest steals; the biggest bombs; and the most triumphant no-hitters.

I only wish it was longer. Posnanski is our best baseball writer. Even if you know most of these moments (spoiler alert: There are more than 50), Posnanski puts such a new spin on them that you'll discover new opinions on them. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Pine Tar Game, but here Joe brings up the fact that Royals Manager Dick Howser is oddly absent from being at home plate while the umpires discuss the call. It's now become a mystery I'm dying to solve. This whole audiobook is an all around joy.

Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is part memoir, part investigation, and unlike any creative portrait you’ve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Gladwell, and Gladwell’s oldest friend and co-writer, journalist and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simon’s music, to his childhood in Queens, NY, to his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel and the nature of creativity itself.

From growing up in Los Angeles with movie star neighbors, bearing witness to the music scene in the 1960s and seeing the rise of comedy in the early 70s, to studying mime in Paris under the tutelage of Marcel Marceau to becoming a founding member of the seminal comedy troupe The Groundlings, it's no wonder that Lorne Michaels offered Laraine Newman a spot in the original cast of Saturday Night Live. There, Laraine was part of the show that changed TV - and comedy - forever.
