(Here is why it takes me forever sometimes to write reviews. ![]() ![]() Reading this book on my own brought back those happy memories of my brand-new baby and our tiny, sunny little apartment in Boston. My mom was reading it when Ella was born and brought her copy out when she came to help and she read me large segments of the book aloud while I nursed Ella. As someone who doesn’t buy many books (hello, what is the library for if not to house all the books I’d like to read), there is no higher compliment.Īlso, my phone is now full of pictures of pages where something struck me enough that I needed to mark it, and library school taught me that librarians frown on you marking up library copies.Īctually, I’m not quite as late to the Happiness Project party as all that. And then I ordered my own copy so that I could mark it up and reread it as often as I liked. I checked this out from the library and read the whole thing. I’m a little overwhelmed, actually, by how much I adored this book. Better late then never, though, I suppose. I know I’m a couple years late on The Happiness Project. ![]()

Then there was the time Reinsdorf took a shot at Lucchino, who had purchased the Padres in ’94, during the strike. Helyar quotes him as saying, “Baseball is the only industry where I have to pay someone what my dumbest competitor pays.” That’s similar to a quote I remember from a Sports Illustrated profile of Reinsdorf in 1997: If he’s not the smartest person in the room, he’s the most aware of how foolish the room can be, which is its own kind of intelligence. Reinsdorf cuts a distinct figure in the second half of “Lords,” after he arrives on the scene as the new owner of the Chicago White Sox in 1981. As I made my way through John Helyar’s “Lords of the Realm” during the public, contentious negotiations between Major League Baseball and the MLBPA, I kept wondering if we’d soon see in real time the Jerry Reinsdorf captured in the book. ![]() |
