Meet Selena Roberts (and an actually worthy person too)

Price’s book on Coolbaugh (“Heart of the Game”) was really good.  But beware: it’ll get awfully dusty in your neighborhood when you’re reading some of it.

Just in case you were wondering how many librarians read Shysterball: at least one more than you already thought!

I do think it’s amusing that she’s billed second so soon after releasing such a hyped book. Soon no doubt she’ll be admonishing her agent, “I’ve told you a thousand times: Selena Roberts first, puppet show second!”

You new here, Mike?

OK, sorry, in the event I am wrong to assume that you’re being sarcastic, Selena Roberts is there to talk about her A-Rod book, and that book representes one of the more egregious examples of drive-by/hit-job reporting in recent years.  Sourceless rumor-mongering disguised as serious work.  Going back further, she handled the press-portion of the public railroading of the Duke Lacrosse players who were wrongly accused and charged with rape, and she refused to retract any of her crap reporting and opinion on that even after the prosecution was shown to be a criminal sham.

Other than that, she’s aces.

Mike—my apologies. I wrote about 10,000 words excoriating Roberts last month and though I live with this blog every day, I shouldn’t assume anyone else does.
