Between the Lines: Touching All the Bases

As Told To
Dela

"This isn't your typical baseball memoir. It's about spies and lies far more than RBIs."

That's a line from the opening pages of Dave Winfield's gritty, gripping new baseball memoir Touching All the Bases: A Story of Power, Purpose, and Surviving the Bronx, written in collaboration with As Told To podcast guest Alan Maimon.

Alan joins us in our "Between the Lines" segment, as he shares a passage from the Winfield book, which was published this fall by BenBella Books. It's a baseball memoir with teeth, an unvarnished look at a life and career marked by one of the most famous feuds in baseball history.

A longtime journalist, Alan was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, for his eye-opening series on the gaping holes in Kentucky's justice system, for the Louisville Courier-Journal. He would go on to work for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where his reporting on police shootings and the court system garnered national awards and acclaim. He started his professional writing career as a news assistant and reporter in the Berlin bureau of the New York Times.

His Winfield book marks his fourth title written with a member of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, following collaborations with Jim Palmer, Tim Raines, and Andre Dawson.

Alan is a Philadelphia native and graduate of Brown University, where he received a Fulbright fellowship to study and work in Austria.
