So there we were driving to The Shore Thursday night as the signal from WCBS 880 kind of drifted in and out as we listened to Howie Rose and Wayne Randazzo call the first of the Mets-Marlins series from CitiField.

A great year for storytelling. We wanted to list out some of our best reads…books we actually read, form the past year. Looking forward to early 2022 which will bring us Mike Sielski’s Kobe book, Ian O’Connor’s book on Coach K and many more, wayyy outside of sports as well. And as you will see, …
