Take me out to the #BookFace!

If you’re a fan of America’s greatest pastime or you just love a slow afternoon at the ballpark check out this week’s #BookFaceFriday, “The Southpaw” by Mark Harris and Henry W. Wiggin (Bobbs-Merrill, 1953) it would be a great choice for your next read. This novel revolves around a left-handed pitcher on a fictional New York baseball team, it is a part of the Nebraska Publications Clearinghouse, which receives documents every month from all Nebraska state agencies, including the University of Nebraska Press (UNP). UNP books, as well as all Nebraska state documents, are available for checkout by libraries and librarians for their patrons.

“As the temperature warmed up in recent days, there was no better way to prepare for the season than to reread Mark Harris’s “The Southpaw, ” one of the finest sports books I know. . . . Harris loves the game itself, and he never loses sight of its value to America.” —George Vecsey, “The New York Times”
