So, David Ortiz is now an author! Yes, his book will come out on April 17th - you can get the details an pre-order here. It's already in my shopping cart. I mean, what an incredible story - raised in poverty in the Dominican, cast-off by the Twins, and then to find fame and adoration in one of baseball's most difficult markets - Boston. The book is co-authored by Tony Maz from the Boston Herald, who's not a bad writer. I think this may have to be my birthday present to myself!

ETA: I love this - in their description of the book and its author:

He has a 3282 batting average

Too funny!
