I just received a copy of Working at the Ballpark by Tom Jones. It has over 50 interviews with professionals who work at the ballpark including executives, managers, players and even vendors. No Tiger connections, but it looks like a solid read and I’ll give it a full review when I’m finished with it.
I’m also reading Juicing the Game by Howard Bryant. I may be meeting Mr. Bryant in April so I wanted to make sure I could say I had read his book. The title is a little deceving because while it’s about steroids in baseball, it’s also a great business of baseball text. In fact it kind of picks up right where Lords of the Realm leaves off.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to read my book. I hope you enjoy it. I was born in Detroit and tried to arrange a couple of interviews with the Tigers, but their travels and mine didn’t work out. If any of your readers are interested in a video I posted about the book, I uploaded one a few days ago at YouTube. Please see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EpV-LBnb8uQ.
If you or your readers have any questions about the book, please send me a note at Tom.Jones1950@yahoo.com.
Thanks.
Tom
