Jimmy is respectfully acknowledged as a pivotal man in sports journalism with Lardner, Fullerton and Williams. I am finding WHO STRUCK JOHN hard to find for under $25. Thus, it was delightful to find your essay and learn a little more about the man.

It is shame more of his work has not been collected. The three basic collections are the one you mentioned (“Nobody asked me but”), “Who Struck John” and “The Sergeant Says.’ The last cited has most of his war writings, and is the most elusive. “Nobody asked me but” focuses mostly on his sports work but gives a small sampling of other areas on which he wrote. Let me know if of interest, I keep extra copies of books I like at my second location to give to friends with like interests. Best.

Turns out my local branch of the Boston Library carries "Nobody asked me, but..." - I'll check it out in the next day or two - thanks.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
