will always be my favorite Angel. I’m getting the book too.
fire and faith were two of my favorite angels, also.

Spiffy
Less than 300 pages too, nice!

Hell, I could write a Salmon career bio and fill more than 240 pages.
And I have nothing unique or interesting to say.

Why this doesn't have 74 rec's already is beyond me...

I shouldn't have read this
before going to bed. I’m now going to have nightmares.
Let them eat cake!
Tug McGraw used to drop his pants and sit on birthday cakes that fans delivered to the New York Mets clubhouse.
Fantastic
Can’t wait to read it! (When I finally have time, that is…! ;-D)

The novel I'm working on is now longer than Tim Salmon's book...
What does this mean?

You need to learn how to say more with less words.
I love this team.

Come on now...
240 pages is pretty short for a novel. In fact, it might not even qualify as a novel at that length.

too bad he won't make it to PA/DE/MD for a book tour
just assuming, but why would he come over here?
You're right, he probably won't unfortunately
I’m sure he’d like to but he has a wife and a ton of kids and other stuff going on.
Plus, DE is all the way over there…
I’m not even expecting him to come to San Diego.

Why Tim? Why?
Salmon is a great guy. But just cannot imagine that it would be that interesting.
Wonder about the angle for the book? Can’t imagine there would be much of a national market for a book by Tim Salmon. He’s not a controversial. He’s never was vocal about his faith. For much of his career he was not even the best player on his team.

Moreover
Moreover, its not like he has a compelling personal story (does he?). Unlike Kurt Warner, for example.
He’s just an all-around good guy. Which was great for us as hardcore Angels fans. But it doesn’t seem to offer much in the way of a book. Maybe that’s why its so short?

Dude I don't care if it's pure gibberish.
It’s written by Tim Salmon. I’m buying it, end of story.

Sarah Palin got a book deal
And Tim Salmon is lightyears more qualified to be writing than she is.
More importantly, he and Garret Anderson were pretty much the only players people knew on the Angels from the mid-90’s through mid-00’s. They were the closest guys we had to superstars when we won in 2002, maybe Percival also. He was on the field when Cal Ripken Jr. broke the All-Time Games Played Record, which is something we aren’t likely to ever see again. He helped win a rather dramatic World Series that went the distance. It won’t be a national bestseller, but at 240 pages a decent number of baseball fans probably would consider it for a casual read.
