This blog is dedicated to Brian Robison. Brian is a man of measureable wit and one of the three or four greatest Jewish athletes in the KA house ever to grace B-league intramurals sports at Emory University between 1989 and 1993ish.
Cooperstown Confidential is more than the title suggests. The name suggests a tell-all story of the baseball Hall of Fame.

At times, the book is neither a halcyon ode to the sport nor the "shrine" itself.
