Wait Till Next Year | 
pickThis was such a beautifully written memoir as well as an ode to baseball, family and growing up. I listened to it on audio CDs and the narration was perfect 👍 Definitely a “pick” for all baseball fans as well as anyone who enjoys memoirs.
The end result when your ‘non-Kindle owning, mood reader who doesn‘t know what mood she‘s in‘ friend visits the library before her summer vacation 🤓📚📚It‘s a road trip so no worries on running out of suitcase space, hence the recorded book & physical book of the same title 😁
pickEven if you aren‘t a fan of baseball, the sense of community and family pride portrayed in this narrative will lighten your load and bring happiness to your heart.
I‘ve been waiting for this for a long time. Kindle now has your current read as a book cover screensaver. Just updated my kindle paperwhite to the lastest version and I have it. Recommend this if you own a kindle.

Decided to read this as it has great reviews and was in a best of Long Island reads on my library in the Libby app.
It‘s a memoir about growing up in the 1950s in love with her family and baseball.
As a baseball being my favorite sport, I am sure this will give insight to earlier baseball years, as well as a story of Doris finding her place with baseball and growing up.

I love baseball even though as a lifelong Atlanta fan I say wait til next year a lot. (It‘s been a long time since that WS win!) I read this by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin year ago but I remember enjoying it. It‘s about her childhood love of the Brooklyn Dodgers. #Ballgame #LitsySpringBreak
pickI love this book and its acknowledgement of the role baseball can play in keeping families close.
I‘m struggling to get my steps today for #BFC Still need a thousand more to make my goal.
Started a re-listen of this book today and enjoying it much more than the walking 😜
Reading a book about baseball doesn't quite seem to fit with the august surroundings (Sterling Library at Yale Medical School). But I'm on my lunch break, and it's hot outside. 🙂
pickLOVED this book. Check out this quote which is applicable to our time: “I would not confuse the temporary leaders of a country with the country itself.”
My favorite book that features a sport #giveawaysports this is a wonderful memoir by Doris Kearns Goodwin and reminds me of watching the Red Sox with my dad growing up
DKG is speaking at my state university this week, so I'm reading her memoir in preparation. Can't wait to hear this presidential historian's take on current politics.
"By the time I had mastered the art of scorekeeping, a lasting bond had been forged between my father, baseball, and me." (Goodwin, pg. 13) The photo is from a few years ago on a road trip to Pittsburgh with mom and dad; we went for the weekend and got to go to all three games of the series, the Tigers were very nearly swept but it was an awesome weekend!
Oddly enough, my dad teaching me to keep score was also what cemented our relationship and my love of baseball. I keep score at every game we attend and if I ever have a question, I lean over to dad (I always make sure to sit next him) and ask him how he would score it...I love this game, and the bond I've formed with my dear dad because of it.
For #AugustofPages today, a #uniquefact about me - I don't think I've shared it here before but, I'm a French Horn player. I've played for thirteen years, all throughout middle school and high schoo,l and now I play every Sunday morning in the church orchestra. Also, and I'm pretty sure you all know this by now, I'm a HUGE baseball fan and this Doris Goodwin book is one of my all-time favorites!
DKG is my career role model, so of course I was going to read her memoir. I'm about 50% done--it's the story of her childhood on Long Island with an emphasis on her family's love for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
