Pretty shitty news, most people who knew Mauch spoke highly of him.  Looks like I found my RBI Baseball Link of the day.  Think I'll whip up a quick RBIdb page on Mauch as well...

Still entertaining though

Indeed it was...

On that note, my Blank Morris book came in.  Dee-Nee!

Can't really disagree with that.  Great content, but horrible prose.

I read the first half and really liked it.  I certainly didn't consider it heavy reading, but honestly don't remember the writing quality being all that bad.  I should pick it up again, but Bullet Bob is going to be my next read...

Apparantly, Gene Mauch was Roy Smalley's uncle.

Can't really disagree with that.  Great content, but horrible prose. 

I'd say the writing is comparable to my writing in 4th grade.  Entertaining book but wow does that guy SUCK as a writer.
