    A Season on the Brink is one of the greatest sports books

    Also for “A Season Inside” for 14-year-old me.

    Feinstein’s real legacy to me is that his writing got me to really care about golf and Yankee League basketball. Things I really don’t care about.

    I’ve been rereading “where nobody knows your name,” his stories of following guys in AAA for a season. It’s not an easy subject, but he walks the tightrope perfectly of making it interesting without being condescending.

    Alford and the calendar in the 1980s compared with the NIL of today is mind blowing.

    It has been a long time since I read a Season on the Brink was that Feinstein largely kept himself out of the story. The reason may have been it was an early literary work before he had become a superstar and he was more heavily edited.

    Wow, what a loss. I don’t even like golf and read A Good Walk Spoiled twice. His autobiography was really interesting. Wonder how his book on Black activism in sports is

    RIP to a giant.

    I'm guessing he was working on at least one book at the time of his death. Curious as to the topic.
