Thanks, Jeremy, for this spotlight on two sports books. I do read a sports-topic book from time to time, and am a baseball fan, so I'll keep these in mind. (I've read the late Roger Angell, and Doris Kearns Goodwin's Wait Till Next Year, and Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit (of course!), and The Boys in the Boat.)
I also enjoy pairing sports books during different seasons- later this summer I’m looking forward to listening to The Last Folk Hero: Bo Jackson. so I will keep an eye out for the Charlie hustle. Also thanks for the WhiteHead recommendation. That is an author I’ve not listened to.
Hmmm. A different world to discover one day.
What is your favorite Whitehead book?

Interesting perspective, Jeremy! Both books seem like compelling reads, each offering its own insights into the world of sports.
