A lot of people have asked me how the book is doing?<\/p>\n<p>Well, first of all, the book is selling very well. Second, I got the official word from my publisher that a paperback version will be coming out around spring training, and I actually got some printer proof copies already which look awesome (see the picture below).<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\" href=\"http:\/\/baseballwmatt.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/9f788-img_2153.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/baseballwmatt.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/9f788-img_2153.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Finally, the book has gotten some really good reviews, for which I&#8217;m very excited, including from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morethanafan.net\/2014\/10\/14\/amazing-aaron-zero-zippers-matt-nadel-knocks-park\/\">More Than a Fan<\/a>, and just recently, from Cuban baseball magazine, Universo Beisbol. The coolest part about the UB review is that it&#8217;s all in Spanish and is seen all over Cuba, which means that maybe Fidel Castro (a very big baseball fan and a former player) will see it and buy a copy of my book! You never know. Here&#8217;s the screenshot below of the UB review.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\" href=\"http:\/\/baseballwmatt.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/70d89-screen2bshot2b2014-10-252bat2b10-16-512bam.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/baseballwmatt.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/70d89-screen2bshot2b2014-10-252bat2b10-16-512bam.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: left\">Anyway, thanks for reading. Lots of big things in the works, including a super-surprise interview to be published right after the World Series. &#160;So keep on reading, and check back again soon for more of &#8220;all the buzz on what wuzz.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey baseball fans, As a lot of you know, I&#8217;ve written an A-Z baseball history introduction book called Amazing Aaron to Zero Zippers, which is being published by Summer Game Books, and for which Hall of Famer, Jim Palmer, wrote the foreword.
