Definitely I'll second Stew's comments. We've got some stars amongst us. But we already knew that.--art

Congratulations to Tom Swift and Dan Levitt for awards and honors they've received for their biographies about Chief Bender and Ed Barrow.
Chief Bender's Burden is receiving the 2009 Seymour Medal at the Seymour Conference in Cleveland later this month. Ed Barrow: The Bulldog Who Built the Yankees' First Dynasty, by Dan Leviit, was one of three finalists (along with Chief Bender's Burden and a biography of Hammerin' Hank Chadwick) for the award.
Also, Chief Bender's Burden was one of four finalists for the Larry Ritter Award from SABR's Deadball Era Committee.
Way to go, guys. We are all honored to be among such company.
Stew
