I am about two thirds of the way through @keithob.bsky.social’s latest book and I am just having a blast.
My two favorite nuggets so far:
🏀 ABA great Mel Daniels was an assistant coach at Indiana State.
🏀 During Bird’s short stint at IU, he lived in McNutt, my freshman year dorm.

I read a great book on Johnny Mize (who we do not talk about enough) and he called Martin Digigo the greatest baseball player he ever saw.
That will always stick with me.
