Win a Copy of 'Stepping Up'


On the most recent edition of Sports Bloggers Live we named the winners of our Don Mattingly autographed V-Grip bat and Spalding's World Tour book giveaways, Susan Winderman and Jersey Joe Hadden, respectively, and also announced a new SBL book giveaway: Stepping Up: The Story of Curt Flood and His Fight for Baseball Players' Rights.

 
Stepping Up: The Story of All-Star Curt Flood and His Fight for Baseball Players' Rights
 
It's a compelling read for anyone who enjoys sports bios or wants to know more about one of the most remarkable sports figures from the past 50 years, and the author is our man Alex Belth of Bronx Banter and SI.com fame (hear him on SBL). To enter into the random drawing for the book, just email me at dcsportsguy@aol.com with 'Flood' in the subject line. We'll announce the winner next week.
 
On a sidenote, I just got this email from Belth that makes me think he may be the most likeable Yankee fan on the planet:
 
"Dude, you know I'm stoaked that the Bombers are finding ways to win.  Some Yankee fans, as well as their owner et. al, only think about October.  But if life is either a ring or bubkus, then your life is going to be pretty upsetting.  The Yanks give their fans so much to root about.  The fact that it's been coming from the most unlikely places this year has been fun."

    Amazingly, you wrote the Flood article while my neighborhood was experiencing flooding.
