Just ordered mine. I know how much work Matt put into this, and I know how thorough he is. Can't wait to dig in.
I have written a book! It is available for sale now. It's a bunch of fun discussions about the leadoff man, including interviews with big names (Johnny Damon, Joe Mauer, John Smoltz, Mookie Betts, Kyle Schwarber and more), fun stories, best moments and, of course, rankings. Pick one up!
