Mark Harris Remembered
Novelist and essayist Mark Harris died last week. He's best known for his novel, later adapted into a movie and a play, Bang the Drum Slowly. The field of baseball fiction is crowded with talent, but even among greats Harris was known as an ace, especially for his four-book series narrated by fictional pitcher Henry Wiggen -- The Southpaw, Bang the Drum Slowly, A Ticket for a Seamstitch, and It Looked Like For Ever. Did you read Harris? What is it about his stories that grabbed you?
