In 2001, I received a call from a friend who said, “Do you know that you’re latest book “Every Pitcher Tells A Story” was mentioned in Barron’s magazine?” Barron’s Magazine is the financial magazine that every investor reads religiously on Sundays, so I immediately wondered what I was doing in it. I bought a copy and then read the article. It was indeed a compliment that the intelligent, well-read, and highly-credentialed––Press Secretary for the current President, George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer, had included one of my books in with his historical reading. To be juxtaposed with those authors and their books was a real unexpected highlight.
