Chapter 21: An Oscar-Worthy Finale | The Bragging Rights League
https://braggingleague.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/chapter-21-an-oscar-worthy-finale
The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 21: An Oscar-Worthy Finale. Problem is that Lawrence is nowhere to be found before game time, and no one else at Greenlee Field knows where he is, and I finally resort to tracking down Jupe Dobbs in the press dining room. 8220;No whitey boys allowed in here! I stroll past a few typewriters and stop at the fanciest Royal there, obviously Jupe’s. It has a gold nameplate for J DOBBS affixed to the side. Jupe’...Thank you a...

Chapter 20: Hanging on a Dribbler | The Bragging Rights League

The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 20: Hanging on a Dribbler. Pretty sad if you ask me, and even sadder that no one else on our team or in the newspaper bothered to mention this. It’s like everyone wants to keep us in our dreamy dream state. BRM 000 010 001 – 2 8 0. NWK 120-001 00x – 4 11 0. W-Smith L-Day SV-T. Williams HRS: Mackey, Lundy, GWRBI-Gibson. TO: MISS BLOSSOM PICKERING. FROM: J. GEOFFREY HEATH. So yes, the Bragging Rights shoes are knotted at the t...

Chapter 16: Chatting at the Heath Bar | The Bragging Rights League
https://braggingleague.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/chapter-16-chatting-at-the-heath-bar
The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 16: Chatting at the Heath Bar. Had the supreme fortune to share some post-series blabbery at Chicago’s infamous Skunk Den with auxilary flycatcher J. Geoffrey Heath. Our Jordans had just nibbled two of three from his brave but decidedly doomed Dorseys, and he was not even in the partly sunniest of moods…. That’s a little unfair, don’t you think? Dixon and Stearnes were on the bases, and I knew they had a chance to windmill a...

Chapter 19: Struck by a Dorsey Truck | The Bragging Rights League
https://braggingleague.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/chapter-19-struck-by-a-dorsey-truck
The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 19: Struck by a Dorsey Truck. Wow Never saw this barreling down the highway. Here we are, all jumpy and nervous and expecting the Jersey fans to attack me for crossing the racial love line a few weeks ago, but the only thing they care about right now is how their Newark Ellingtons’ pitching staff disintegrated before their eyes. It started when the K.C. Basies rolled into Ruppert Stadium recently. Well, I just did. I’m...

Chapter 17: Border Crossings | The Bragging Rights League
https://braggingleague.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/chapter-17-border-crossings
The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 17: Border Crossings. The cabbie knows exactly where Cool Papa Bell’s mansion is. Woodward Avenue takes us north past Dewayne State University, past Voigt Park, then left on West Boston Boulevard into a neighborhood of very old Michigan money and now here I am with my beautiful Blossom, on the night before the Dorseys’ last game in Detroit, waiting in Mr. Bell’s lavish entrance hall. I had a ground out and single my first tw...

Chapter 15: Fatherly | The Bragging Rights League
https://braggingleague.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/chapter-15-fatherly
The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. My dad didn’t talk to me much. He worked as a tree sapper for Crawford Maple Industries, which just about owned the city of Thunder Bay up in Northern Ontario. He played third base for the company’s Syrup League team, and was probably a worse fielder than I am. Anything he. Say to me at the supper table about playing baseball had to do with hitting, and I thank him for that after every double I put in the gap. Wyatt is just Whitless...

Chapter 7: Whiteness on the Edge of Town | The Bragging Rights League

The Bragging Rights League. A Baseball Fantasy Blogella, by Jeff Polman. Chapter 7: Whiteness on the Edge of Town. Cool Papa Bell wasn't all that. Like I figured, DiMaggio, Williams and Appling check themselves into separate rooms in the nicest Detroit hotel that allows white people, while the rest of us have to fend for ourselves in the scariest neighborhood in the city. 8221; he says, slapping my back and throwing down his two dimes for the coffee, “Let’s go! But you know what? Two-bagger. Back and...

About Me and This. The Book on 1924. Your 1958 Guest Managers. A Baseball Replay Murder Mystery. In Snappy Drake's Diary. Asymp; 13 Comments. April 15, 1958. Tough to make out a dead body when it’s covered in peanut shells and Royal Crown Cola. But there it was. Head wedged under the wooden seats of row D, section 16, third base side. Section of Seals Stadium. So yeah, I’ll be dusting off those third base boxes and raking in quarter tips at 16th and Bryant all year. And soon as I’m done g...Wish I had mo...
