Über diesen Titel

 Dive into the hilarious and chaotic world of Jack Keefe, a big-hearted but bumbling journeyman pitcher for the Chicago White Sox during the lively Deadball Era of 1915. Through a series of letters to his old friend Al back in Bedford, Indiana, we get an intimate look at Jacks life both on and off the field, complete with all his quirks—his laziness, vanity, and headstrong nature. Written by the witty Ring Lardner, a notable Chicago sportswriter, You Know Me Al combines insider knowledge of baseball with sharp humor, creating a delightful narrative that transcends the sport itself. While Jack’s escapades with girlfriends, wives, and the challenges of professional baseball are at the forefront, this collection of stories also serves as a captivating snapshot of a bygone era. Whether youre a die-hard baseball enthusiast or just looking for a good laugh, Lardners portrayal of the comically flawed ballplayer remains timelessly entertaining.
